Dwight’s Monthly Letter - June 2011, Part 2

In Part 1 of my June letter, I explained the strategy of a new initiative called Influence 77. Now, in Part 2, I want to talk about Kingdom Builders, another new initiative at NewPointe that I want you to know about.

What is the purpose of Kingdom Builders?

The purpose of Kingdom Builders is to fund projects related to furthering God’s vision for NewPointe. Examples of projects are Influence 77 with new campuses, bringing change to businesses and schools, mission projects, and capital needs.

What is a Kingdom Builder?

A Kingdom Builder is a family, individual, or business who designates money to Kingdom Builders above and beyond their Biblical tithe (a normal tithe is 10% of the household or business income).

How can I Become a Kingdom Builder?

Becoming a Kingdom Builder is simple. First, pray and ask God to place an amount on your heart that He would have you commit to give. Second, complete the Kingdom Builder’s commitment card. You can make a one-time contribution or commit to a weekly, monthly, or annual amount that can be increased or decreased at any time during the year.

Dwight’s Monthly Letter - June 2011, Part 1

A new month brings with it thoughts of a fresh start. Being June, much of the world around us is full of freshness - green grass, colorful flowers, graduations, weddings, and more!

Here at NewPointe, we have some new things happening, too! We have embarked on what we are calling Influence 77 (meaning Interstate 77). We believe that since the local church is the hope of the world, teaching and living the truth of Jesus Christ, it needs to be leveraged.

First, we’ll leverage it by planting multi-site (more campuses) in Northeast Ohio, that are contiguous and committed to developing relevant environments that are conducive for the Spirit of God to speak. We want to do this so that people can purse 3 vital relationships: intimacy with God, involvement in community (believers), and influence in the world (unbelievers).

Second, we want to help business owners and leaders develop their employees so that their companies can operate at the highest level of efficiency and effectiveness, ensuring a healthy and robust economy in Northeast Ohio. We believe that this is possible by developing character and competencies within people that deal with work and life. This will then make Northeast Ohio more industrious and attractive.

Third, we want to invest in the schools in Northeast Ohio. We believe that we are called to invest in the next generation. We want to do this by encouraging and equipping our education leaders with principles and values so that they can be fully engaged and influence the youth in their care. Influence 77 is an exciting and fresh way to bringing change to our communities, families, businesses, and schools.

Watch for part 2 of my newsletter when I’ll share with you another new thing God is doing through NewPointe!
