Part 1 The Launch of Impact Community Christian Center - 3/21/2014

Viva The Revolution! The beginning of a dream... Part 1

The Impact Community Christian Center

A Biblical Entrepreneurial Missional Church

IMPACTING THE PDX METRO COMMUNITY THROUGH THE ARTS, FOOD, COMMUNITY SERVICE AND SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP.

WHY DO WE DREAM OF THIS AND WHERE ARE WE GOING?

We dream of creating a PDX metro church where community life is transcendent for those who have a past church experience and those who do not. To reach a jaded community, showing them that for those whom Jesus died (all mankind) a fulfilled life and destiny of eternal significance is possible, both in this life and the next.

We dream of creating a gathering center...a destination... a place to “hang out”, meet and eat, learn and grow spiritually. Develop a motif where the purpose is to feed people spiritually and physically (a church running a restaurant), going deeper in the Word of God, learning to listen and respond to the Spirit. Create a Word and Spirit Church where the best of the evangelical and charismatic traditions shine. Glorifying God in our service, worship, and creativity. The goal is to reach a broad, ethnically diverse community of families of late baby boomers, busters, and gen Xers sharing the gospel of Christ woven in and through all we do.

We want to love on people and provide meaningful, exciting clean hospitality ministry. The thrust is evangelism. Food and the arts are a beautiful gift from God, and we desire to create a place where talented people can reach down deep inside and tap into the creative places God has given them, artist and fine artist alike. Impact Community Christian Center is an opportunity to, in a very significant way, energize evangelism passion in the hearts of those who will embrace this Biblical Entrepreneurial Missional Church.

The best part...As we create an outlet for individuals to express their creativity we will turn Satan’s perversions of the arts & business on its ear and become a powerful tool to reach the lost...

BUT WAIT...THERES MORE.  INTERESTED?

To Tanzania and Back…

We are now back in Uganda after two weeks of ministry in Buhongwa and Mwanza Tanzania.

Our journey began with leaving from the UCOM compound in Seguku Village, Uganda at 4 am. What was to be a 16 hour journey took two full days of travel due to the road conditions. It was to say the least, a test of all of our endurance. Oh how we were wishing for a hot tub but, we will just have to settle for a cold shower…what is that you saying in Swahili, “NO WATER”! Well, I guess my wipes and hand sanitizer will just have to do…LOL.

The first week of training began in the village of Buhongwa, Tanzania. We awoke very early pulled our “pretzeled” bodies out of our beds and gathered for breakfast. Our chef Isa prepared for us scrambled eggs, bread with peanut butter and jelly, fresh fruit and coffee. This was our morning routine for the next two weeks. After we were off to begin 5 days of Pastoral training and participate in the nightly crusades. Thus began 16-18 hours of ministry filled days, each day.

Buhongwa (Boo-HONG-Wah) was a village filled with witchcraft and demonic activity. We saw many who were delivered from demons. Our ministry team was feeling a sense of the Lord that we were to meditate on Ephesians chapter 6 and put on the “FULL” armor of the Lord! I had a vision of a Roman solider in full guard with his shield of faith and sword of the spirit girded on. Marching forward the demons were attacking but he was victorious in the Lord. At one point while preaching I felt the Lord direct me to call out the demon strongholds of Buhongwa and challenge them. I said “demons come if you dare”, our Lord will deal with you... I called all of the men of the crusade team and our ministry too. “Come forward” I asked, and “stand in the gap for the people”. I called out the demons of lust, prostitution, rape, incest, and depression. We spoke boldly to break the curses of the land. I spoke against and rebuked the demons who love blood. Then I asked for those who wanted to be delivered from demons and become born again, to come forward and they did. Dozens came and we prayed for them all. In several people did demons manifest and we cast them out. They did not go quietly, and in some, the people were thrown to the ground with writhing and wailing. Some came out with much screaming and some resisted, but in the end all had to flee in Jesus name. It was both scary and exhilarating. There were healings too. One woman came to us with a withered hand and a club foot. We prayed and the next day when we saw her she showed us her hand…It was healed. We still believe for God to heal her foot and we told her to continue praying and seeking for God’s touch.

The Pastors training was amazing. So many bush pastors were there. Many having no bibles or training of any kind, they have a hunger to learn and grow in the faith and as leaders. We are so grateful to empty ourselves of all we have to pour into them. It was so special to give them the bibles you all supplied with your faithful giving. THANK YOU!

Mwanza, Tanzania was our next stop. The story here is much the same as we saw in Buhongwa. One difference however was the greater presence of Islam. There are many Mosques with a large population of those who practice Islam in this city. There was a powerful oppression here of false religion and at one point we ministered the truth that Jesus is greater than Mohamed and Jesus did rise from the dead. The Curran teaches against both. Some Muslims became born again with great risk to their lives. We conducted our week long training here, gave bibles etc and preached at the crusades.

During this week in Mwanza I (Tim) got very sick with an upper respiratory infection. I kept going but was getting weaker each day. I had a high fever and painful joints. I was tested for Malaria which turned out to be negative. It would appear that I just have a very stubborn cold.

God has moved as we knew he would and this trip is nearing its close…for now. With the remaining time we have our team will be preaching in local churches. We have been given a wonderful opportunity to bless and be blessed. I look forward to seeing you all again real soon. Thank you for partnering with us in your prayers.

In HIS service,

Pastor Tim

Uganda/Tanzania - Week One

Hello everyone…We made it safely to Uganda after a grueling 32 hours of travel. So far we have been in to Kampala to exchange our currency and see the city. The next day just 24 hours after arriving we were up at 3:30 AM in the morning to take a two hour ride to Bulelo men’s prison... We ministered there for about two hours, sharing the gospel and providing medical care, food, and other supplies. Several men responded to the gospel and gave their hearts to Jesus. It was amazing to see God at work once again.

We then headed back to the Suguku Village and the UCOM (Uganda Christian Outreach Ministry) compound as the men were scheduled to address the students at the Yesu Akwagala (Yes sooo Ak-quag-ala) Bible College. All three Pastors on the team gave short 15 min presentations of encouragement.

After lunch we piled into one of the prison ministry vans and headed off to women’s prison to begin an afternoon of ministry there. The Lord moved powerfully during our time there and many women were born again. Tim shared from the Bible John chapter 8, the story of the “woman caught in adultery” and how Jesus did not condemn her. Many ladies responded well when I explained that Jesus would never hurt them. Many of these women have been sexually abused and have deep wounds it was amazing to see God touch their hearts.
After dinner our CFC team prayed together and got into the word before heading to bed at around 10 PM. A full 19 hour day to be sure...

The next day we awoke with anticipation of a day of ministry at the Bethany House Orphanage. We delivered our gifts of clothing, toys, and nursery supplies along with each child getting his or hers own teddy bear wrapped in a blanket. IMPACT-Life Change Community proved the bears, blankets and $500.00 dollars. CFC proved the rest. What a blessing it was for us to spend time with the little children and their care givers. You can’t believe how much gratitude they all had. YOU ARE A BLESSING!

Early (4 AM) Saturday morning Uganda Time, the team will hit the road for a 14 hour journey to the Mwanza district in Tanzania. The journey will be long, bumpy and HOT! Please be praying for our stamina. Sunday we three pastors we will preach in a local church each. Monday we begin our first week of Pastors Training during the 5 days followed each evening with us preaching in the local outreach events. It will be a great time of ministry. After we will head to the next village and do it all over again. We will head back to Uganda after two weeks here in Tanzania.

I will give more updates if I am able, internet access is marginal. On behalf of the CFC ministry team bless you all for your partnership, prayers and support.

With much love – Pastor Tim
