WE ARE IN THE MOST EXCITING TIME OF LAUNCHING INTO WHAT WE CAME TO LOS ANGELES FOR!



Recently we have been envisioning our leadership track of fifty leaders to help us launch the church and missions base! We are bringing to the surface those behind the scenes projects and launching everything this Summer! On top of our church (keep reading to find out more) we are launching an entertainment network, children's ministry, youth ministry, creative arts department, a daily radio show and podcast called "Your Life with Shawn & Sally," a relief supply center for the poor, and much much more! Everything has moved forward and we are just holding on enjoying the journey with joy!



BUILDING



We have been walking out a journey with God on finding our full-time building for the last five months. There have been some weeks with great opportunities and some with none at all. We have pursued a number of options and none have yet landed as our next place of growth, and we know that God has a specific place and time for us as a community to start our Sunday Mornings.



We are excited about a location on


La Cienega Blvd
in the heart of West Hollywood that could very well be what we have been looking for. We are in the final stages of negotiations for it, so we are trusting that if it is God’s timing it will open to us! Pray with us as we walk it out!




LOCAL MEETINGS



With our Sunday Morning meetings on the horizon, we are planning to have E58 Sunday School! We are going to have simultaneous teaching tracks for the community. We will have classes on Biblical Foundations, Family and Parenting, Healing and Prophetic Ministry, and more. It will be an exciting track for people who have a heart for different areas. We will have open discussions and a very interactive time.



Our Tuesday night services keep getting better and better! Two weeks ago we have a full on Dance Party! We just got to celebrate “FUN” which is one of Jesus’ favorite expressions! For now we are still holding them at the Global Café Auditorium in Studio City.



In September we will be hosting a dream interpretation seminar with Cindy McGill – more information coming soon!



MISSIONS/OUTREACH



-Sudan



Currently we have a team of 11 people in Southern Sudan ministering to children who have been devastated by Africa's longest and bloodiest war.  Each day our team is traveling to different school sites where there are hundreds of children waiting to hear the Good News.  The team took in much needed school supplies, medical supplies, music and sports equipment, and have had the privilege of ministering the love of Jesus to these precious children.  We recently received a brief update from the team and there have been countless salvations, healings, and deliverances!  Every evening they have been hosting open air worship and ministry times in the community and God has been moving in such incredible ways!  We'll keep you updated as the testimonies unravel when the team gets home!



-Inner-City Distribution



We are so excited to announce that we have partnered with Compassion Ministries out of the International Church of Las Vegas to begin distributing much needed supplies to families in need in the Los Angeles Area!  We will be bringing a truck load full of donations each month to serve families in need in our area! If you would like to be involved in the monthly truck-runs please contact the office.
