INCREDIBLE
BEAUTY - INCREDIBLE NEEDS
Utah
is a wonderful place to visit and live! The Salt Lake City region
has the youngest population in the U.S., the highest birthrate in
the U.S. and the most educated adult workforce. Overall in Utah,
70% of the population are members of the Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons).
BMW
missionaries have been planting churches in Utah and Idaho for nearly
50 years. Churches have been planted and released to local leadership
in Brigham City, Kaysville, and Roy, Utah. There are ongoing church
plants in Payson, Cedar City, Richfield, Provo, LaVerkin, Tremonton
and Eden, Utah, and in Blackfoot and Montpelier, Idaho. These churches
are also served by BMW personnel running KEYY
Radio in Provo.
A
NEW STRATEGY GAINING MOMENTUM
In
July of 2000 when BMW missionary church planter Ron Thompson introduced
the idea of the Church Planting Consortium to a group of
southern Utah pastors, it was a step of faith in response to a challenge
from BMW's General Director, Paul Seger, to 'think outside the box
in church planting'.
Today, five
years later the Consortium, which is not an organization but rather
a joint vision of BMW and Tentmakers
Bible Mission to expedite church planting in the inter-mountain
west, has been able to see the launching of six new ministries,
which is more than triple the average number of plants in that time
frame.
In
the month of November 2005 alone, BMW missionaries began Sunday
services for two new churches. Frank and Roberta Curtis planted
Grace Bible Church in Morgan, Utah, and Rob and Joanne Brannon started
Rocky Mountain Bible Church
in Willard, Utah. In addition, missionaries Ben and Sarah Cline,
with Tentmakers, launched Bible classes for Harvest Bible Church
in Spanish Fork.
Pray for the
Curtis's and the Brannon's as they labor in their respective communities,
neither of which has ever had a Bible believing church.

Gonino, BMW's U.S. Area Director.
