Update as of 1/29/14

Things have been crazy here for the last few weeks, and I have neglected to keep everyone informed of what is going on.  So I figured I'd write a bit about what has been happening.


On 1/9/14 we held our first Gathering at Homewood Suites near the Yuma Palms Mall.  We were very encouraged by the number (53) and the diversity of the crowd.  Ekklesia Yuma is purposely trying to build a church that is multi-ethnic bringing people of all kinds together to worship and serve together.  Our 2nd and 3rd services have been exciting as we are beginning to build a core of people that are committing to the vision of Ekklesia.  We will continue to meet on Thursday nights at Homewood Suites at 6:30pm for hanging out and then begin our worship service at 7pm.  We would love to see you there sometime.


As well as doing our weekly Gathering, we have been searching for an area where God is calling us to minister to physical and spiritual needs on a long term basis.  Several of the leaders have driven around trying to find the place that God has for us.  As of yesterday we feel like we may have found the perfect spot that God has designed for us.  We will continue to pray and seek God's face on this project.


Augie and Lori have also been working through the process of being assessed by the North American Mission Board as nationally and state sponsored church planters.  This process has been a long with many tests, questionnaires, referrals, outside evaluations and an eventual several day interview process.  Pray for us as we continue in this process.


We are so excited about what God is doing at Ekklesia and pray that you will keep us in your prayers and get involved with us if possible.  God bless you.  --Augie

Going Public

Today we went public with our website www.ekklesiayuma.com and also Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Google+  We are excited about what God holds in the future for us.  We have been praying and talking about what He is calling us to do and how to do it.  We have planned to start public services on Thursday January 9th, 2014 at the Homewood Suites adjacent to the Yuma Palms Mall. 

Report for 10/24/13

The core team of Ekklesia Yuma has been meeting for several months now. We have been praying about what God is telling us to do and how to do it. We have been meeting on Thursday nights and moving from home to home of the different core members. We have spent some time together getting to know each other and just hanging out. We are currently working on the legal paperwork/decisions that will officially register us as a new/separate ministry in AZ. We are also working on a website and other social media sources in order to begin to start spreading the word about our public meetings. As of today, we have not made a decision on time or place but we plan to have those things set soon. We appreciate your prayers as we begin to step out in faith and follow God on this new adventure he has for us. We love you.  -Augie
