Lynette’s Retirement! We recently had the honor of celebrating Lynette Augsburger’s 17 years of service to FEC. As former colleagues shared memories of Lynette over the years, a common theme that emerged was Lynette’s joyful disposition. Whether within her personal or professional realms, Lynette demonstrates Christ-like servanthood and graciousness to others. Her impact was obvious [...]
Basque Update - A few weeks ago I went to Catholic mass. While I was sitting in the service I noticed a young man sitting in the balcony by himself. What made it strange was that nearly everyone there is old, nearly everyone is with someone, and nearly everyone doesn't seem to be taking it [...]
Hi there and happy New Year! When I was a youth pastor in Dawlish, England, I had the opportunity to work part time on a farm. The farmer was a friend who attended our church and put me to work doing various tasks. A sheep farmer had rented some land from my friend, so one [...]
One year ago I officially began the process of starting a new church. At that time I wrote a blog titled "Ask for Wonder." In it, I shared how I wasn't making a New Year's resolution for 2016. Instead, I was making a New Year's request. My request was simple. I prayed that God would [...]
This has been an incredible year for us as a family. I've got another blog post coming out soon where I'll spend more time reflecting on the past year, but in this post I want focus on expressing gratitude. With that said... THANK YOU! To the faithful individuals and families who have supported our family [...]
As Neighborhood Church, we get to be “questionable” in a number of enjoyable ways. But one question we’ve come across more and more lately is: “Do you plan to eventually meet as one big group only, or will you keep these smaller gatherings?” A perfectly good goal for any church is to grow bigger and [...]
“Going to Church.” It's what we say. But is church truly understood or best experienced as something we “go to”? Is that how Paul describes it in his letters to the churches in Corinth, Ephesus, Colossae, etc? After citing 1 Corinthians 12:21, author Dennis McCallum writes: Notice Paul is not just saying we need the [...]
Today I’m beginning a new series that calls each of us to think about personal revival. I’ll start with a word picture: In the last year I have found that my eyesight is starting to fail. I notice this when trying to read small text, close up. It has been especially obvious when using my [...]
A few days ago we wrote about “Extraordinary Prayer” and what it is. But why do we need “extraordinary prayer“? I think there are many people who are convinced that prayer is a waste of time. They would never say it like that because that’s un-Christian, but their lives reflect it. I think this is [...]
We believe that a church planting movement in the Basque Country will require extraordinary prayer. We believe that because in a study of church planting movements around the world, not one of them started without an incredible amount of prayer. In all of those cases there were very large numbers of people praying to see [...]
