The second church that I attend is called Mosaic.

This church meets at 4pm Sunday night and Thursday evenings for prayer meeting. Mosaic is a small church that has begun by meeting in a park meeting area then moved to a school cafeteria. It may have 30+ change members in it attending regularly. Recently they have just bought their own church, and a couple houses around it. One of the houses is an old crack house, and the house caddy corner to the church will become the children's church in time. We have a lot of work to do on it, the roof leaks and has plastic on it, and the windows are painted blue on the inside/white outside. Sometimes during praise and worship, we are so loud that the paint falls off the ceiling.  The old bell at the steeple of the church was broken, but now it is fixed and we ring it at the beginning/ending of service and when someone gets delivered.     

Now the neighborhood this church is on is in the MOST run down area of Moore County, NC, but a mile down the road are some of the richest people in the state. In my previous blog I spoke about Moore County, NC.  There are two more churches in this neighborhood, but for the most part the neighborhood is a poverty stricken hood. If you remember around servolution we had a neighborhood clean up there.

You may wonder why this church decide to start up in the hood, well it all started with a dream that one of the assistant pastors had in which he told Pastor Steve they must go to Jackson Hamlet the worst neighborhood in Moore county. Like the days of Joseph (Gen 45:10, Gen 46:28), we were sent to the land of Goshen, Jackson Hamlet, to start up this church. This community is in bondage by poverty, racism, drugs, alcohol, prostitution, witchcraft, abuse, and all the bad there is could be found in Jackson Hamlet.

God said His people would be despised by Egypt (Gen 46:34). Well so is Mosaic church. we have been attacked by paintball guns. Jackson Hamlet is predominately an entirely black neighborhood, we are 93% white, 5% black and 2% hispanic. Pastor Steve has even been approached and asked, "What are you trying to do, be an oreo". Well as the Pastor in the black church who is our partner said, "What is the sweetest part of the oreo, the white stuff. Just like Jesus, you are trying to be the sweet white light stuff in the oreo."

A little history about Jackson Hamlet, it was established in 1924. The land was owned by a successful toolman who built all the golf courses in Pinehurst. People who settled in Jackson Hamlet were hired hens for this toolman. In 1932 the church was built, Pinehurst began to prosper while Jackson Hamlet began to slip into poverty. Just like when Pharaoh prospered and the servants starved (Gen 47:4, Gen 47:22). WE BELIEVE God will bring this neighborhood out of poverty.

If we want the impoverished to prosper we must establish our church home and sow our seeds there.



Mosaic must gain property in the community and establish Spiritual authority. So we did this very thing, we close at the end of this month, but we must be renting it now I don't know. The land the church is on is supposed to be sacred, in the basement you will find walkers and canes. So at one time miracles and wonders were performed there. We are tearing down the crack house next door to make our parking lot, as a sign of restoration. Our plan is to restore the church and the neighborhood.

We want to show the community just how BIG our God is.

We believe even in time of a great recession that it is possible to sacrifice and restore this neighborhood. Just as Goshen was spared from hail and famine (Ex. 9:6, Ex 9:26). We believe that our pursuit of God will restore even when all is going to the pits, God will prevail (Ex 10:23).


We have a strategy to proclaim Jesus over the Community, and we have our two partner churches that are working with us. We are being provided with every address in the neighborhood, each household is being asked to pray and or bless for 2 or 3 of them. Even though gunshots are being shot, drug dealers are still making the deal, some are coming to the church and being saved.

Mosaic's Three Fold Strategy
1) Praise the Lord with our Entire Heart
2) Pray for the Community
3) Establish Authority over the Land

God says He is with us.

On June 20th, we will stand at the gates of Goshen in Jackson Hamlet and establish God's authority. This will be done at the gates of Cotton Street at 11am. So PLEASE PRAY for Jackson Hamlet up through that time, and for God to take back His people. Please pray God will find favor upon our church.

(disclaimer: this is mainly Pastor Steve's sermon not my writing, which is only the first few paragraphs. If you are on facebook, they are there. Charity and Pastor Steve are my friends. Charity is out here too but she hasn't really got started on MC yet due to her work and raising 4 kids.)










This is our church, Mosiac
