Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, due to the confusion with another “Kairos Network” that started a couple years after ours, we will be changing the name our church planting initiative to the VDMA Network. This will help us to keep continuity and consistency in the church plants that we are starting as we seek under God’s abundant grace in Jesus to continue this work. As we have been in the past, we are starting new churches from the confessional Lutheran perspective. We do not do this by attracting donors or clients or districts into funding us, but rather by actually entering the mission field first with the Word of God, catechisms, hymnals, etc. We get to work hand in glove with our Circuit, District, and Synod to do this work with complete accountability and collaboration. Our church planting network requires no funding to keep itself going, for the Lord has made it such that we can keep the work going without a single dime of support for the network itself. The purpose of the VDMA network is to plant churches. God has given us a way to do this now in complete freedom and we do not need any money to “preserve ourselves.” The great news about this is that all the churches that are started can be supported directly. Glory to God!
Over time, you will see the changes occurring over time in the website address, Facebook page, etc. What continues to be most important to us is that this Lutheran mission work is actually being done regardless of names, funding, branding, etc. The Kairos Network of North Georgia planted over 10 churches in the last 11 years that have gone forth with the Gospel and gathered people around God’s Word and Sacraments. Praise the Lord! It has served His purpose! Now the work of the VDMA Network begins.
Lord, have mercy on this work also so that the work of your Church may go forth to reach lost, hurting, burdened souls with the precious antidote of Jesus’ all atoning forgiveness! In the name of our Advent Savior and King, Jesus Christ the Lord. Amen.
The VDMA Network
