Influence Church
What a remarkable year 2021 has been and it is hard to believe that it is almost over. It is not over yet, we still have lots more to do! Throughout the past year we have seen our church family band together as we embrace the vision of our church to save the lost by offering a real church experience in a real world sharing the love of a real God. Nothing can replace the feeling of the real love of God in our lives and sharing it with others who seek to have a closer relationship with Him. As this year ends, we just wanted to take a moment to look back on this year with you and thank you for being a part of our Influence Family. Please take a few moments to look through the enclosed information and be encouraged at all we have accomplished together and excited about what is to come in 2022! Life is so much more fun when we get to spend it with you! Blessings, Pastors Darnell & Rochelle West Senior Pastors

EXPANSION
In order to grow within our own personal mission, we are always looking for ways to expand our reach. In Isaiah 54:2-3, God commands His people to expand the place of their tent in mission to resettle the desolate cities. Over the past few years, we have launched new locations in North County, South City, Festus and University City. Through these expansions we are able to strengthen our community and advance the Gospel within our city. We are giving a church home to so many and creating a community of people who get to do life together, serve The Lord and share the Good News!

EXPANSION
Influence Church will be moving our U. City campus, food ministry and staff offices to our newest U City addition in the fall of 2021.
We were blessed with the University City Campus this year and since we have begun ministering there, we have seen such a growth among its members and its reach in the surrounding area. As we look at moving the Influence Church University City Campus to a larger campus soon, we will incur expenses to modify the space and fill the building with our heart and vision. The cost to lease the building and build out the space is $500,000. We know that what we sow into this building will be given back to us as we will
University City
provide room for expansion, additional seating for our church family and guests, and much much more. This is such an amazing opportunity. Don’t miss out on giving to this project where every week you will see what you are giving to and how it is impacting not only you but those around you. We also want to incorporate into this space an Influence Church World Headquarters at this location too and the cost to do this is $15,000. This will become the heartbeat of Influence Church Worldwide.
LOCAL MISSIONS Romans 12:4-5 says that we are better together than we are alone. Local missions allows us to build and strengthen God's Kingdom by being a light in the darkness right where we are.

This Gospel of The Kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come, We are able to continue to reach, not only our local communities but the entire nation. Our greatest opportunity of impact through the nation will come by launching local churches in communities across America.
40% of Orlando residents claim to be Christian leaving an unreached population of 60% We are excited about doing that through our Orlando campus. The key to spreading The Gospel is through the development of churches and by raising up successful leaders within the ministry to connect with communities around the nation, and The "Real Sacrifice" offering is ensuring we are able to do both exceedingly well. "And this Gospel of The Kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come." -Matthew 24:14

INDIA God has commissioned His church to take The Gospel to the world, making disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:19-20). Influence Church has a mission that starts in our very own city, but that does not merely stop there.
The "Real Sacrifice" offering allows us to reverberate The Gospel into places that could easily go unreached. The resources so graciously given are a means that provide the nurturing of relationships with international partners. Whether it is funding missionaries or meeting God's people at their deepest level of need spiritually, physically, emotionally and economically. It allows us to lead so many more towards the gift of salvation and to continue to assist in God's plan to advance His Kingdom.
As the desperate need for leaders in the church grows, Influence Church University works to provide an environment that directs individuals toward uncovering and growing God's purpose for their lives. ICU is built to develop ministry leaders to move The Gospel in all areas of their lives, whether in the church or in business. Influence University is uniquely designed with a balance of ministry knowledge and real-life application.
The cost of this program is $50,000. Instilling these skills will help us to build the foundation of our church with strong leaders who will utilize these skills to impact others around them too. If you believe in education and leadership considering supporting this amazing opportunity.
Through hands-on experience through practicuums, leaders can obtain specialized skills that provide them with experience both in and outside of the church setting.
