On May 2nd I drove to the other side of the state to connect with Tomoka Christian Church. They have decided to support The Tampa Project and I was truly blessed in our time together.
While I was there, they showed me a couple of their outreach ministries. They do a Jesus clinic which provides basic medical coverage for the working poor. They also invest in the Daytona Outreach Center. It works with the under privileged and hurting of the streets of Daytona. Both were great examples of the type of ministry needed for an urban environment.
One thing that struck me hard was that this was no ordinary mega church. Tomoka is one of the many christian churches that are 2000+. However this church is nuts. They run 5 services on the weekend to accommodate everyone They give 30% of their budget to missions and outreach.
Tomoka will be partnering with us in the future. They will be bringing a work team in June and helping us with launch weekend. They have also committed to giving financially which will make a major difference as we become the church God has intended.
Thank you to Tomoka - Mike Waers, Mike Gaunter, and Joe Putting for being instrumental in getting this partnership going.
