George and Janice's Church Launch
Donation protected
"Hello friends! I don't do much of social media posting, and I have never done any type of fundraising for myself or for the ministry through social media. But I am coming to you now to let you in on some incredible, life-changing news that has been confirmed to me prophetically by The Lord at least 7 different times since January of this year, 2016. To put a very long story short, most of my friends and family knows that I have been faithful as a pastor at the Orlando House of Prayer under Carlos Sarmiento for the last 16 years. I served as the youth pastor for 12 years and as an associate pastor for the last 3 1/2 years. In early January of this year, 2016, The Lord began to stir and confirm in me a radical new season and new change for me and my wife, and for the ministry He's called me to do. After much prayer and seeking wise counsel from our executive directors, Carlos and Emily Sarmiento and other leaders in the body of Christ, along with undeniable prophetic declarations and confirmations over my life in the span of 6 months, the news is: I'm Planting and Starting a brand new Local Church in the Apopka, Fl Area!! The Launch date is November 6, 2016!
The name of the church we will start will be called: Remnant Christian Center!
This is a life changing decision for my wife and I as we are being obedient to the clear voice of The Lord and many undeniable confirmations we've received! This is a huge step of faith for my wife and I as we are starting from scratch. I have over 20 years of pastoral experience as an ordained minister, and now the time has come that the Lord wants me to plant our own, new local church. Our vision is to be a church that meets the needs of our city and beyond through prayer, acts of love and outreach in our community, strong programs for the entire family to engage and grow in, and a strong emphasis on God's Word and His Power to change lives!
So why did I create this fundraising page?
To start a new church is exciting but very costly financially in the beginning stages. We need to raise over $40,000 before our church launch in November 6 for vital things we need to start a healthy, vibrant and growing church. Here are some of the major things we need these funds for:
- Renting or renovating a building for our new church community to congregate in.
- Purchasing lighting equipment for stage and church service purposes.
- Sound Equipment: Speakers, Monitors, Microphones, Wires, etc.
- Professional Sound Board for sound equipment (this can be expensive!)
- Musical Instruments: Drums, Keyboards, Guitars, etc.
- Computers for our office for secretarial and administrative work, and for our weekly service needs as well.
- Liability Insurance for the new church
These are only some of the main needs for a new, starter church to operate and function effectively.
Any amount donated will go DIRECTLY TOWARDS THESE NEEDS mentioned here and other unmentioned needs for our new church launch.
Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for taking your time to read this, and to consider partnering with us in prayer and with your financial support for our new and exciting Church launch!
May The Lord bless you and your family!
