The Good News Email of July 11, 2010

On Sunday evenings, many of the Evangelists and Women’s Ministry Leaders in the SoldOut Movement graciously send me their “good news” for the week. On Monday mornings, I gather the most exciting of the reports and send them out to all of our leaders around the world, accompanied by some heartfelt admonitions for the movement. This keeps us connected and encouraged by the Spirit of God working in our family of churches. The following is this past week’s “Good News Email!” KM

Dear All,
Just 24 more days till the 2010 World Missions Jubilee! Andrew Smellie, the Director of the Jubilee, shares that 685 have registered and that 143 have signed up for the Global Leadership Conference to be held on August 4, 2010 – the day before the Jubilee!

Chris & Theresa Broom of Chicago encourage us with this report: Today we celebrated the fourth anniversary of the Chicago International Christian Church! Chicago is the third largest city in the United States with a population of nine million souls and over 500,000 campus students. Sergio Muerson graduated from CR today and Blanca Gonzalez placed membership. Blanca is the mother of Juan Carlos and Luis Garcia, our Spanish Ministry’s version of the “sons of thunder!” Of special note was a performance at the end of service that we recorded as an audition tape for The Kingdom’s Got Talent. Many of our disciples have joined forces to put together a “collage” of their talents that is sure to fire you up and confirmed in my mind that we need to begin a new ministry this fall: the ministry that God used to baptize me in New York City in 1990 … AMP! (Arts Media Professionals) Finally, as of today we have 84 people registered for the Jubilee and more that are still hopeful. Please keep praying for our goal of 100 registered adults. Can’t wait to see you!

From Kiev with love, Oleg & Aliona Sirotkin report: Dear brothers and sisters, From the first day of the church on this June 13, we study the Bible about God’s love, which strongly touched the hearts of disciples, as well as saves. God richly bless us. This week was baptism of Valentine! When he was four months old, his mother left him at the bus station and he grew up in an orphanage. At the first Sunday service that he attended, he said, “All my life I was searching for this family!” Now, Valentine returned to the Father and became a family of God! We are already 78 disciples! Today our attendance was 103 with $1,000 in contribution! Thank God and all who support, transmits instructions, and financial support of Kiev Church.

Jay Hernandez writes: Greetings from the Big Island! Summer in Hilo has started off very well for us. On Friday, Gizelle, a sophmore at the UH Hilo, was baptized! This Marine Sciences major was eager to join God’s kingdom and after working it out to stay the whole summer rather than return to Kauai, she took the big plunge as “Hilo’s Water Dogs” (a name given to us on a persecution website) helped one more sinner repent. We are cranking as well to get as many as possible to the Jubilee. The most the church has ever sent to one Jubilee was three people. Currently we have 15 sold-out disciples registered and looks like we can expect another six to seven to be able to come. That includes our two newest disciples, Ezekiel and Gizelle! We are so fired-up to be seeing you soon at the Jubilee. A Hui Hou! (‘Till we meet again!)
