THE LOVE OF JESUS INTO THE CITY & INTO THE WORLD. Disciples of All Nations
May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face shine on us —
— so that your ways may be known on earth, your salvation among all nations.
BASED ON THIS PASSAGE [ PSALM 67:1-2 ] WE KNEW WE WANTED TO PLANT A CHURCH THAT WILL PUT THE GLORY OF GOD AT THE FOREFRONT OF EVERYTHING WE DO.
PSALM 67:1-2
UNASHAMEDLY, WE WANT GOD TO BE GRACIOUS TO US. WE WANT HIM TO BLESS US. WE WANT HIS FACE TO SHINE UPON US. BUT WITH ALL OUR HEARTS, WE WANT ALL OF THESE THINGS FOR HIS FAME AND HIS GLORY TO BE KNOWN IN LAS VEGAS, AND THROUGHOUT THE WORLD.
WHY LAS VEGAS?
IN FEBRUARY OF 2022, I TOOK A TRIP TO LAS VEGAS THAT INCLUDED A TOUR OF THE STRIP. IT WAS ON THIS TOUR WHEN GOD PLACED A BURDEN IN MY HEART FOR THE BROKENNESS OF THE CITY OF LAS VEGAS. WE KNOW THAT JESUS IS THE HOPE OF THE WORLD. WE KNOW THAT GOD HAS CHOSEN TO REVEAL HIMSELF TO THE WORLD THROUGH THE LOCAL CHURCH. IT IS WITH THIS KNOWLEDGE AND OUR BURDEN FOR THE CITY THAT THIS CALLING TO PLANT A CHURCH IN LAS VEGAS WAS BORN. KAYLA AND I HAVE SPENT A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TIME IN THE WORD OF GOD, IN PRAYER, AND WITH WISE COUNSEL DURING THIS SEASON. TIME AND TIME AGAIN, GOD HAS BEEN FAITHFUL TO CONFIRM THE CALLING TO PLANT YOUR CHURCH IN LAS VEGAS,

EXPENSES
ENDORSEMENTS: CHRIS BELL LEAD PASTOR | 3CIRCLE CHURCH “I can’t express just how excited I am about Pastor Jack Diven and his bride, Kayla, planting a church in Las Vegas. I have had the honor to be a mentor, leader, and pastor to this young man, and have observed his ministry for years. While being incredibly talented, Jack is most importantly a man of deep character, integrity, and passion for Jesus. He walks what he talks. I believe this couple will do great things for the Kingdom.”
JOSEPH GIBBONS LEAD PASTOR | FAVOR CITY CHURCH

“Kristen and I have cherished the opportunity to walk with Jack and Kayla, as they chase God’s call. We firmly believe that they are primed and called to plant an incredible church. They possess a drive and creativity that has compelled us, as well as Favor City, to invest in the Divens’ journey.”
