UPDATE FROM CHURCH PLANTER | marc pilon // September 15, 2010

Posted by Phil Taylor executive pastor

Terra Nova Church supports Marc Pilon who is planting in Sherbrooke, QB, Canada. This past weekend they launched the beginning of their core gatherings. Here is an update that Marc sent out. Praise God for the way that your generous giving is being used in this community of Quebec.

Axe21′s public launch is scheduled for January and we hope to send some Terra people there to encourage them.

Dear supporters,

Yesterday we held our first Sunday service. It was incredibly encouraging for me to see everyone getting involved and helping out. When I entered the building where we have our kids program, to see all these people coming together and work as the body of Christ was beautiful and all I wanted to do was praise God for the work He’s doing in the lives of His children.

It was very encouraging to see all the different ministries unfolding, and every member doing its part.

Close to a 150 people showed up for this first Sunday, which was above our expectations and the atmosphere was very fun and pleasant. Everyone seemed to be having a good time.

We started out a series on called TRUTH, which aims at helping Christians re-establishing the truths of the Gospel and helping them build their lives on those truths. This past Sunday the emphasis was on the fact that GOD IS the source and judge of all truth, NOT ME. Next Sunday we’re dealing with the lies we believe about our identity and how we must replace those lies with the truths of our identity in Christ.

Pray that the Spirit of truth would guide us into all the truth and that our hearts will be inclined to want to hear and live according to the truth.

Thanks so much for your prayers.

We still have much work ahead of us, but we are very excited and looking forward to our public launch which should be held on the 30th of January.

We love you and are thankful to God for your partnership with us for the advancement of the Gospel in the province of Quebec!

Marc Pilon
