CHURCH PLANTING | TOM REES | 717.795.5921 | tom@penndel.org <strong>2021</strong> Home Missions Project We exist to compel people to follow Jesus completely Jason & Teri have been serving in ministry together for twenty-five years. After graduating from the University of Valley Forge they served as evangelists, youth pastors and interim lead pastors. Their ministry has been focused on serving others, loving people and sharing the gospel. As ministers they have trained over 300 interns and lead over 100 youth ministries to evangelize the streets of the Northeast through their evangelistic ministry. Recently, Jason has been an executive pastor and has specialized in consulting churches on structure and system development for the past ten years along with pastoral coaching. His depth of experience in development will help him create a strategy for Collegeville and immediately invest into equipping the church for the work of the ministry. Teri has been a spiritual coach in “Leading and Loving It” and has a burden to disciple and mentor women. Her passion helps her easily connect to women from all walks of life. 724-679-3325 vergechurch.com 14
65% say they are not involved in a religious congregation or community. In 2012 a study found that 46% of our mission field stated that they have a personal relationship with the one living God, who is Lord and Savior. In 2017 we saw that number drop to 39%. People NOT in the religious community say the number one reason for not participating in a church is due to the demands of raising children. In the past five years this demand has caused an increase of marriage problems, stress and problems balancing work and family. We are seeing an increase of personal issues that are private and painful. 71% of those who were once active in a church but no longer go to church do not attend due to the fact that they do not trust religious leaders. (This is higher than the national average). We are creating a strategy for the top two personal needs of our community. We can immediately have an impact in our community by providing space for development of human potential. Several ways you can partner: PRAY Please pray for Jason and Teri as they step out in this new adventure, gather a core team and launch this fall. ENVISION verge church is one of the first fruits of the vision to plant 100 churches. I am grateful for those who have encouraged and invested in this new church plant and are envisioning more. GIVE Faith commitments/offerings are now being received. Jason has spent much of his ministry sowing into PennDel churches through outreach, coaching and leadership training. As he launches this new venture, my hope is that PennDel churches will sow back into verge church. This year we are partnering with Connection Church as they plant Verge Church in Collegeville. Churches can send in their offering to: PennDel Home Missions Project • 4651 Westport Drive • Mechanicsburg, PA 1705 LEADERSHIPconnexion | Summer <strong>2021</strong> 15
