We had our last preview service leading up to our official launch of Oasis Church this past Sunday. We had 54 people in attendance and it was great to see some returning guests as part of that number…
-one family saw our ad on facebook
-one saw our road signs
-one was given a free Starbucks coffee the day before
-one saw our listing on Craigslist
-several were invited by friends and co-workers
All that to say, all kinds of ways are needed to get the word out about a new church being started… and not only that, God uses all sorts of ways to guide and lead people as His church is built! Awesome!
We had Jesse Marks lead worship for us… he (and the band of friends he put together) are part of the youth group at FBC Jax… I am very grateful they were able to help us out and they did a great job!
I continued our "Thrill Ride" series on the book of Ecclesiastes… we went through the majority of chapters 3 & 4… I am loving teaching through this book… although, Solomon asks some tough questions!

Now, we are in the final days leading up to our official launch… in the next few days, we have a launch team meeting at our house, we are following up with new people, we are meeting other church planters, getting involved with the Baptist Association, planning a Family Fun Day at the theater, preparing for another team to come up from South Florida, the mailer will hit people's homes, andwe will keep trying to get the word out to as many people as possible… of course, we are praying and fasting for God to continue to do a mighty work and that we would be able to serve Him and see people follow Jesus for His glory….
Keep praying!
