Winter 2017 Newsletter

Dear Friends,

Spring is nearly upon us and Overseed has a lot planned for this new season! We will be hosting replant pastor conferences in Massachusetts, Conneticut and northern New England focused on Rebuilding The Foundation. Thanks for partnering with us in this work.

Ministry Updates

 

Hub Pastor Rev. George Ray, MDiv, JD

At Overseed, we describe revitalization pastors as patient catalysts. Leaders who understand that building trusting relationships and revitalizing a church takes time and intentionality, especially in New England.

George Ray is a patient catalyst.

For 33 years, George has served as Senior Pastor of Trinity Evangelical Church in North Reading, MA.

Congregational Mission Society

Overseed was invited to attend a foundational meeting of the new Congregational Mission Society held at Belmont University in Nashville, TN.  One of our Board members, Rev. Abraham Gross, joined Jim Harrell for this two day gathering focused on strategies for reaching North America with the gospel.  We believe that one of those strategies needs to be replanting/revitalizing churches.

 

Networking Across New England

We joined hundreds of ministry leaders at Vision New England’s 2017 GO conference in Worcester last month.  We enjoyed sharing Overseed's vision of reaching New England communities for Christ through replanting/revitalizing churches.
