Community Baptist Church Cavite 1st Anniversary

Urban Church Planting Report Non-Facility Dependent Church Planting Strategy

Thanks for partnering with us! God continues to bless our church planting efforts in Metro Manila and in other areas of Southeast Asia. Your prayer and financial support is a critical component in the continued growth of the ministry! Sincerely, Greg & LuAnn Lyons Global Surge Missionary Team 1st Year Anniversary Reaches over 400 Community Baptist Church - Cavite Pastor Lito Lipata The service was full! People were excited to see what God has done through this new church in just one year! God was present as this new congregation celebrated one year of God's blessings! Pastor Lito Lipata, BBCAsia graduate, moved his family to this part of Metro Manila to establish a new congregation. Cavite City is one of several fast growing areas around this megacity! Laying a foundation with over 20 small groups in the area, CBC Cavite launched public services in 2009 with over 800. They have been averaging around 240 since their launching service. The church celebrated their first anniversary with an attendance of 463! Adults and young people numbered 358 and 105 children were present for the event. God blessed with 91 salvation decisions! Implementing our Urban Church Planting Strategy has been a catalyst for the growth of this new church. Synergizing several key elements without burdening the new congregation with high rental costs, has allowed the focus to remain on reaching and ministering to people. This Non-Facility Dependent Strategy enables resources and energy to be directed to what really grows a church! Megacity Ministries/Global Surge Megacity Ministries is becoming Global Surge! As we team up with many new partners in the USA and around the world, we have established a team name reflecting our Global Vision of Church Planting and Evangelism! To Partner...
