Almost 96% of all the people who live in a multihousing setting do not go to church anywhere.
Multihousing managers realize they have a real crisis with so many people living so close together. They are extremely overworked and too pressured to do relationship building . They ask for churches to come to their properties to offer assistance and provide activities, Bible studies, and even worship for their residents.
They see the benefit for their communities to have churches serving on site. As ideas are presented to them, most are more then willing to allow us access to the property to work with the residents.
LOW COST! Can you imagine a situation for sustaining a ministry and/or planting a church where you would never need to build buildings and make mortgage payments on land and structure.? You would never need to pay to have a parking lot put in. You would never have to build a kitchen or bathroom facilities. You would never have the headaches of parking problems or space. You would never have to build a baptistery. In fact, it would never cost more than a couple hundred dollars any given month for church expenses.
MULTI-CULTURAL! Your services would likely be casual and include many cultures.
aborting the baby but decided to talk with an apartment missionary, Audrey Simon, first. Audrey encouraged her not to have an abortion, but instead to place her baby with an adoption agency after birth. Audrey ministered to Treshonda during her pregnancy. A short time before the baby was born, Treshonda accepted Christ as her Saviour. She was baptized at Valley View Baptist Church. Treshonda told Audrey that she did not want her baby to go through what she did. She wanted her to grow up knowing Jesus!
