Alex Ielase & Redeemer on the Mount

At our May 29^th Allegheny District Church Plant Team meeting, Alex Ielase and Redeemer on the Mount Church were approved as an urban church-plant project for Mount Washington (Pittsburgh). Following a year of internship with Saleem Gabrill of The Pittsburgh Project and Mosaic Church, and in fulfilling much of what was recommended following his assessment, Alex is now taking great stride to form a gospel beach-head on Mount Washington with a vision of that work spilling into other Pittsburgh Communities. Already, Pastor Jack Wilson and Waterdam Church and their youth have begun reaching out to share in this ministry. Additionally, the National EFCA Church-Planting office plans to grant $5000 toward this work. Pray for Alex, Jennifer and Scarlet as they begin this new ministry. One of their mottos is to live in the community they minister in and to minister in the community they live in. What a great motto that we need to see implemented in thousands of other communities all across our land!
