Most exciting development in the Church of the greater Philly area in the last hundred years?
For folks in the Philly area, this Nov 16 event has the potential for being the most exciting development in the Church of the greater Philly area in the last hundred years, in my not-so-humble opinion. My longtime friend and GospelFriendships’ board member, Glenn McDowell is the co-chair of Philadelphia Gospel Movement. I’ve been praying for this over the past two years. Pasted below is Glenn’s latest prayer update.

Dear ministry partners and friends,
Over the past several years I have been laboring to build a network of churches and Christians in the marketplace in order to advance the gospel and serve our city together, in ways that we cannot do alone.
The Lord has now brought together amazing teams that are serving this purpose! Now is the time for us to move to the next level and gear up with the resources to advance the mission, and prepare for Movement Day Philadelphia on November 9, 2019.
We have planned an engaging vision and fundraising event for Friday, November 16. We have some exciting developments and stories which we will tell those of you who come. You are invited!
This event is a big project on which our team has been working. Connie and I will be at all three locations that day for the breakfast, or lunch, or evening hors d’oeuvres. So whichever venue you choose, we’d love to see you!
We pray that the event will fund these outcomes: that Greater Philadelphia will flourish spiritually, economically and culturally through the grace of Jesus Christ!
How will we measure transformation?
1. More disciples A growing percentage of the population become disciples of Jesus, reversing the trend of secularization of our city.
2. More mercy Christians, serving together, remedy some of the deepest needs of our city.
3. More Kingdom life Christians humbly and boldly live out their faith by bringing grace and biblical justice to the marketplace and culture. They will impact social media, mass media, the arts, commerce, the criminal justice system and law, medicine, education, academia, public service, and the fabric of culture by connecting with each other and advancing excellence, grace and truth in each sphere.
All these mean that we need a fresh filling of the Holy Spirit!
I deeply appreciate your partnership!
Love,
Glenn
