PACE-LAB2004

Greetings,

Come and make a difference at Pace-Lab 2004, May 6-8. You will not want to miss this opportunity to Pray, Activate, Commit and Enlist your church in reaching the unreached peoples of the world. There will be special worship, speakers, planning sessions and round table discussions all designed to ignite a passion for the unreached in you and your church. PACE-LAB 2004 will offer two separate teaching tracts, one for beginning churches that have a desire to reach an unreached people group and want to know how to get started and the second tract will be for churches that are in various stages of PACE development. Both tracts will be based on the knowledge and experience gained from the original seven PACE Church prototypes as well as churches who are in various stages of PACE development, plus twenty-five years of experience by Team Expansion staff. Churches at every level of mission involvement can catch the vision of reaching the unreached peoples by using the PACE tool to ignite a passion for the lost in their church.

PACE-Lab will be held at the beautiful Country Lake Christian Retreat Center wwwcountrylake.org . The cost for the entire retreat including lodging, meals and snacks, and materials will be $103-$144. If you would like to register for PACE Lab or would like more information, please email me at admin@teamexpansion.org or call 1-800-447-0800.

You will not want to miss out on this opportunity to become intricately involved in growing God's Kingdom around the world!

God Bless,
Melanie Robinson

The Year it all Began: PACE!

The PACE concept began through Team Expansion's involvement in preparing for Envision '96, the National Missionary Convention for 1996, in Lexington, Kentucky. It took place at Rupp Arena (see a main session, pictured above), Nov., 1996. In those sessions and others, God began to speak to local churches and to Team Expansion to say, "I am with you always!" -- and He's especially with us as we seek to carry out the Great Commission! :-) In short, PACE is a movement of churches, working in partnership with Team Expansion, to launch church-planting movements among specific unreached people groups that these churches have respectively "adopted." At regular PACE gatherings, called PACE-Labs, churches and mission reps share their "lessons learned" and challenge one another to stay the course until the project is fulfilled.

Now, some 8 years later, PACE hasn't cooled off. It's working... and for that, there's hope! Meet Melanie Robinson, the PACE Project Coordinator at Shively Christian Church, Louisville, KY (pictured above). Melanie now serves Team Expansion as well, working as our Sec'y/Receptionist, as well as a special PACE Assistant. Join her on this special webpage for updates to the PACE movement! Welcome Melanie!
