Organizations Filed Purposes:
WE ARE A DISCIPLE-MAKING COMMUNITY DEVOTED TO BRINGING THE GOOD NEWS OF JESUS CHRIST TO THE ONE MILLION UNCHURCHED PEOPLE OF NORTH ORANGE COUNTY- ONE PERSON AT A TIME. OUR THREE MAIN MINISTRIES: BIBLE DIALOGUE TRAININGS: WE TRAINED ALMOST 300 PEOPLE TO FACILITATE DIALOGUES IN THE BOOK OF MARK; THE LAB(FOR EMERGING LEADERS): WE HAD 7 PEOPLE GO THROUGH THE LAB IN 2019; PRAYER WALKING: OVER 100 PEOPLE WERE WALKING THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD WEEKLY. ALSO, WE RE-LAUNCHED MY BOOKSHELF.
A CHRISTIAN MINISTRY WITH A FOCUS ON DISCIPLE-MAKING AMONG NON-CHRISTIANS AND EQUIPPING EMERGING LEADERS IN THE CHURCH FOR MINISTRY
THE LAB(FOR EMERGING LEADERS):THE TRAINED SEVEN EMERGING LEADERS IN 2019. A BIG VICTORY-- 4 WERE BI-LINGUAL. A PASTOR TOLD US, "THERE IS NOTHING LIKE THE LAB FOR YOUNG HISPANIC LEADERS ANYWHERE IN THE US THAT I CAN FIND." ALL BUT ONE HAVE TAKEN SUBSTANTIAL STEPS FORWARD IN MINISTRY AS A RESULT OF THEIR PARTICIPATION. THE LAB ALSO RECEIVED ACCREDITATION AS A FOR-CREDIT COURSE THROUGH ALIGNMENT WITH HOPE UNIVERSITY: PARTICIPANTS CAN RECEIVE FOUR UNITS PER SEMESTER EITHER FOR GRADUATE OR UNDERGRADUATE CREDIT. WE DEVELOPED A MINI-VERSION OF THE LAB FOR CHRISTIANS WHO WANT TO SERIOUSLY "UP THEIR MINISTRY GAME" BUT DO NOT FEEL A CALL TO FULL-TIME MINISTRY. WE CALL THESE DISCIPLE-MAKING COMMUNITIES, OR DMCS. WE LAUNCHED A BETA GROUP, WHICH HAS GONE WELL AND PLAN TO EXPAND THIS MINISTRY NEXT YEAR. WE BELIEVE THAT THE DMCS HAVE BROAD POTENTIAL AND HOPEFULLY WILL BECOME A FOCUS FOR NORTH COUNTY PROJECT IN THE COMING YEAR. WE ALSO RECEIVED AN UNDESIGNATED GIFT THIS YEAR, WHICH ALLOWED US TO CONSIDER HOW TO STRENGTHEN OUR CORE VISION OF MAKING DISCIPLES AMONG THE ONE MILLION UNCHURCHED. WE WANT TO BRING ON EVANGELISM INTERNS AND USE THE FUNDS FROM THAT GIFT TO OFFER SMALL STIPENDS TO GRADUATES FROM OUR DMCS OR THE LAB, WHO WANT TO DEVELOP THEIR EVANGELISM GIFTING.
MY BOOKSHELF:MY BOOKSHELF HAD LOST INITIATIVE DUE TO THE LACK OF A COMMITTED VOLUNTEER TO RUN IT. WE WERE SIMPLY TOO SMALL TO RUN IT ALONG WITH OUR OTHER CORE MINISTRIES. WE DID NOT ABANDON IT, WE MERELY PUT IT ON HOLD UNTIL WE FOUND THE RIGHT PERSON. LATE IN THE YEAR WE FOUND THAT PERSON, WHO HAS 40 YEAR RUN IN PUBLISHING AND NEWPAPERS. THIS VOLUNTEER IS PASSIONATE ABOUT THE CORE GOALS OF MY BOOKSHELF (OR MBC) AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO A BIG PUSH IN 2020.
BIBLE DIALOGUE WORKSHOP:2019 WAS A BANNER YEAR FOR BIBLE DIALOGUE TRAINING. WE REALIZED WE COULD ONLY ACCOMPLISH OUR GOAL OF MAKING LOTS OF DISCIPLES AMONG THE ONE MILLION UNCHURCHED IF WE CAME UP WITH A SCALEABLE WAY TO DO THAT-- TRYING TO GROW NORTH COUNTY PROJECT ENOUGH TO DO THAT OURSELVES WOULD PROVE PROHIBITIVE. WE WANTED TO RAMP UP THE NUMBER OF WORKSHOPS WE OFFER. BY THE END OF THE YEAR WE HAD TRAINED OVER 120 HISPANIC PASTORS AND LEADERS IN AN ONLINE FORMAT, ABOUT 70 IN OUR TRADITIONAL WORKSHOP FORMAT, AND ANOTHER 80 BIBLE SCHOOL STUDENTS (35) AND PASTORS (45) IN A THREE-DAY TRAINING. BY INCORPORATING THIS TRAINING IN OUR DMC FORMAT, WE THINK WE CAN GREATLY EXPAND THE TRAINING RESULTS IN 2020.
