Ground Zero Church Updates!!

Hey All!
I just wanted to give a little update both personally and from Ground Zero. First of all I'm happily married! I know I know I better be after 12 days :) The wedding went without a hitch... Except the getting hitched part. Both Sasha and I thank God everyday for the union he gave to us.

As for GroundZero we are entering the next phase, which is an absolutely exciting one. For the last 9 months we had been meeting in Broomfield, CO on the Northwest part of Denver at an apartment complex clubhouse. At the beginning part of the year we were noticing that many of the people attending were actually driving from the exact opposite part of the city from where we were at. After lots of prayer and fasting as a team we decided that God was leading us to be closer to the communities where the people were. So we got up and moved 40 miles south east to Aurora, CO to the Sonoma Resort at Saddle Rock apartment complex which is the current location of GroundZero.

One of the many reasons that we chose Sonoma Resort was the demographic of the area. As a leadership team at GZ our average age is 23 and we figured there would be so many people in the same age group and walk of life that many of us were in. Just like many other apartment complexes, Sonoma Resort is full of young adults just beginning their careers, families and lives (just like us) who need the only solid foundation, Jesus, to build their lives upon. We as a church are committed to being so deeply rooted in God's love that our surrounding communities, like Sonoma Resort, will be transformed by the power of His love.

On August 22 we are hosting our first community event in which we are inviting all the people in the 700 units of Sonoma Resort to join us for food, fellowship and fun where we can start to share the love God shares with us.

Thanks for your continued prayers.

Aaron

  1. Thanks for the update. This is great news! Congratulations to you and Sasha. You are starting a new life together and starting a new phase in your mission with Jesus at the same time. That is exciting. How did the community outreach go?

    I'm looking forward to visiting with you guys. You are always in my prayers. I thank God for all of you.
