I’m excited to present Nomad Church Collective.
A grassroots movement to make disciples of Jesus by taking the gospel to the margins of society.
Lets answer some questions:
Why does Nomad need to exist?
I’m not sure God needs any organization to exist, but he does invite us to participate in his work.
Scripture says part of his work is bringing the good news of the kingdom to the poor. In fact, the book of James says that God has chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom.
The problem, however, is that while plenty of good mercy ministries exist, serving food and distributing resources, few people are actively pastoring those on the very edge of society – the homeless, the mentally ill, addicts, and social outcasts.
Nomad hopes to mobilize Christians to engage these populations on a relational, gospel level.
What will Nomad Church Collective do?
Primarily, two things.
Meet the poor where they are to share the gospel, walking with them daily to teach them how to live in Jesus’ kingdom.
Be disciples ourselves, recognizing that the person of Jesus is often revealed in the context of the poor and marginalized. (See Matthew chapter 25)
How can I participate?
There are several ways to participate in Nomad.
Pray: Pray for the poor, those you know personally or those on our list.
Give: Support Nomad financially
Walk: Connect with the poor and marginalized in your area, then tell us about it!
Spread the Word: Tell others about this ministry
And, of course, come and see. If you live in the Louisville metro area, contact us and we’ll figure out a way to connect.
This is a fledgling ministry with lots of moving parts.
Our aim is to lean on the Holy Spirit for all direction. Sure this creates some ambiguity, maybe a little chaos, but following his guidance is the priority.
Thank you for reading. Thank you for your support and prayers.
