A brief update on the Oaks family including prayer request.

Letting the Gospel redefine our measures of success.

How will they hear?
And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent?
Romans 10:14-15

Summer Promo

We are excited to share a promotional piece for our new discipleship process: PATH. It is a 10 step process rooted in the gospel and approachable for the curious.

The content is robust. But there are still many details to complete. Please pray for the: "Who, Where, and When" as we are finalizing the next steps.

Summer Refresh

Addition, we are using summertime to refresh our extended network on the vision of New Vertical.

By faith we can continue to engage the marketplace with the gospel through a network of community chaplains. Below are two files that illustrate our vision for this process. The first, is an overview of New Vertical. The second, is a deeper dive into the data driving the New Vertical imperative.

Please pray for New Vertical's 3 step strategy to extend the Church's reach into the marketplace.

Engagement - Entering a new community or culture as a missionary.
Hospitality - Inviting the curious to explore the Gospel in a familiar context.
Discipleship - Shepherding individuals in a pursuit of Christ.

NETWORKING

New Vertical is on the edge of a major milestone for our vision to build a network of chaplains. God has been so faithful to lead us every step of the way. Please pray for his provision on three essential steps.

Admission into a national (unnamed) program. This program would foster tremendous opportunities to receive and dispense resources on a scale currently outside our reach.
Those who gave one-time financial gifts would consider joining us as monthly partners. The strength of our network is built by many hands.
Church Partners. Historically the Church has been reactive to culture shifts. Our prayer is that New Vertical can foster a bridge with the local Church that feels proactive to a cultural shift that began in the 1970's.

Around Town

As mentioned above. We are pausing our regular collaboratives for the summer to focus on support raising. Below are some images of seasonal or irregular New Vertical engagements.

The annual STATE OF THE CITY luncheon. Business and CIVIC leaders gathered to learn about economic growth and development in the region.

Faith leaders from the region gathered at North Fulton Community Charities to collaborate on serving the "unseen" peoples of our region who live in hardship.

A 10 week summer study on the gospel. This year we are reading GENTLE and LOWLY. The sun rises as we discuss questions about the heart of Jesus for sinners and sufferers.

THANK YOU!

Our ability to proclaim Christ in unreached areas of the Marketplace depends on the support of others. We could not do it without you.

Your one-time or monthly support equips New Vertical to proclaim Christ to community leaders beyond the reach of the local Church.

The goal is to build a network of chaplains that engage a broad range of communities.

Grateful

We know support comes in many forms. We cannot pioneer marketplace ministry without you. Thank you for your support. You are loved and we are grateful.
His Grace is enough.
