Miracles in Motion: A New Chapter for The Fount
At The Fount Church, we are witnessing firsthand what happens when God moves. Not long ago, I found myself on my knees, breathless, a weight of despair settling over me. A pledged $20,000 donor had just pulled funds, and I wondered if seven years of labor would come to an end. But what felt like a crisis became the catalyst for a deeper journey of prayer and fasting—one in which God would not only provide but also radically increase the Fount family’s faith in Him.
Just a few months ago, we stood at a crossroads, unsure of how we would move forward. Yet, in a way only He can, God opened doors we never imagined—providing financial resources, a new gathering space, and a growing sense of mission. Each step of the way, we have seen His hand guiding us. As we enter 2025, His faithfulness is undeniable! We’ve seen miracles reminding us that He alone builds His church. The past few months have been a season of provision, transition, and expectation, and we want to invite you into this story of God’s power and grace.
A Miracle of Provision
As 2024 came to a close, we faced an overwhelming challenge. The next steps for our church required financial resources that, from a human perspective, seemed impossible to secure. But we serve a God who delights in making the impossible possible. Through the generosity of individuals, churches, and partners who believe in The Fount’s mission, God provided above and beyond what we needed! Because of this, we have stepped into this new season with confidence that He is leading the way.
We have also been deeply encouraged by the kindness of the Converge Heartland community. Churches have come alongside us, donating resources and equipping us as we transition into a fully portable church. This outpouring of generosity has strengthened our faith and deepened our commitment to the work ahead.
A Miracle in Progress
God’s provision didn’t stop with finances. As we step into 2025, we have fully transitioned to our new location and are making all the necessary preparations for our grand opening. In anticipation of what God will do, we have committed to a 10-week season of fasting and prayer—asking Him to move powerfully, draw people to Himself, and use The Fount as a beacon of light in downtown Kansas City.
We are laboring in faith. Our teams are investing in the students and faculty at Crossroads Academy, where we now gather for worship. Personal invitations are being made. Social media outreach is in full swing. Yard signs are planted, and postcards are on their way. Above all, prayers are rising for our city—for hearts to be softened, for lives to be transformed, and for revival to take root.
Partner With Us for a New Beginning
On Sunday, April 6th, we will celebrate the Grand Opening of The Fount Church in our new worship space at Crossroads Academy. While many of you may not be able to join us in person, we invite you to stand with us in prayer. This will be a day of worship, thanksgiving, and anticipation for what’s ahead.
Will you pray with us? Specifically, we are asking God:
To bring 80 people to our Grand Opening on April 6th.
To grow The Fount by 25 new members in 2025.
To establish financial stability as we continue by faith in our church-planting work.
Will you believe with us that the best is yet to come?
We stand amazed at what God has done—and we wait with expectant hearts for all that He has yet to do.
Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen. ~ Ephesians 3:20-21
All glory to Christ,
