Northwood Church proudly welcomes a new daughter to our family. Vista Church, http://www.thisisvista.com, in Crandall, Texas, began Sunday with approximately 130 adults and kids.  Vista has a vision to be a church to the growing community of Heartland in Crandall and for the world. In partnership with Vision360 Dallas Fort Worth, Vista is one of many churches that are part of a strategic plan to reach the entire Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex over the next few years, with congregations that own and practice the DNA of glocal engagement and church multiplication.

In two weeks, Vista will participate in a Home Makeover for a family in their community. During a 24-hour period, they will build, paint, mow, and sweat their way towards completing a home renovation project for this family in need. The goal is to mobilize those attending Vista Church, as well as other interested community members, to impact their community.

In two months, Vista will take their first trip to Nigeria to begin working with the Fulani people.  During the month of December, Vista will aim to raise $5000 needed to drill a freshwater well for the Fulani people.

Vista, we are excited about your first worship service, and we are encouraged by your love for Christ as expressed in your community and to the Fulani people of Nigeria.  You are setting the example for future churches in DFW and throughout America. Enjoy all that God has for you during these early years! We are praying for you.
