New Destiny Update

May 17, 2009

Dear Friends:

Thank you to everyone who has prayed for us and New Destiny Community Church,to those who have spoken words of encouragement, who have given financially, helped with guidance or ideas and those who have expressed willingness as workers to help us launch. We are thankful to God and the work of His kingdom!

We would like to give an update:

-New Destiny Community Church is an official open Church as of April 1, 2009.
-New Destiny Community Church now has its own bank account with First Citizen’s Bank.
-New Destiny Community Church has an account with NC District for those who prefer to give through the North Carolina District. We are considered a Home Missions Church.
-We currently have financial partnership by 2 churches.
-We have had 4 individuals/families give personal support.
-New Destiny has an address (see below)
-We plan to update this blog at least twice a month.
-Melissa and I have visited 3 local churches on Wednesday nights to fellowship/meet other NC ministers.
-Recently, we gave volunteer/intern information to the 2 seminaries in Charlotte.
-We received $1000 GPH credit Grant from BGMC. (children ministry missions program)
-Recently, we applied for STL (Speed the Light) grant (possible $3500)
-Recently, we applied for NC District Endowment (possible $5000)
-We have received information from East Lincoln High School on rental process/fees. The indication is it would run $200 a week at most. This is required up front. Therefore, if we go that route I would think best to reserve the facility months at a time. Another option is to see if local empty store fronts would cut a deal since the market is slow at this time.
-Recently we calculated an estimated media/sound budget.
-Melissa and I are receiving regular Church Plant Coaching from a national revitalization coach. This has been excellent counsel and we are grateful for the words of wisdom and straight-up coaching from one who has walked in our shoes before us!
-I have transferred my Ordination Credentials from SC District to NC District.
-This past Tuesday, I met with Rev. Randall Rogers from NC District.
-Our main focus is partnership: recruiting people to be committed to praying for us and New Destiny Community Church, recruiting workers – both core team (leadership) and launch team (those who would assist us in launching New Destiny), and yes, more financial partners (churches and individuals). New Destiny needs help to launch healthy and effectively. We know God is our source. He knows those who are to team up with us. He has all the resources and finances. He knows those we are to reach. It is all for Him! Praise God, who is our main resource. Please pray for us and for His church as you read this and as the Holy Spirit leads.

Once again, thank you!

In Christ,


Michael A. Teeter
Lead Pastor
