Lion Sightings: bringing the gospel to the people of Portland.

Our Mission:
     The church is simply a gathering of two or more people in the name of God. Our hope is to build a roaming church of Portlanders who strive to worship God in joyful exuberance. Our desire is not to take from those churches already established in Portland, but rather to bring the church to the people. We wish naught but to show the loving joy of Christ through music and words.
     Christ didn't just call us, he commissioned us to go out into the world and make disciples in His holy name. That is our ultimate goal. We hope to excite the name of God in people and feed them the word of the Lord as He feeds us.
     Our prayer is for God to flow through our music. We pray that people feel the ultimate heart of worship and that that sparks a fire within them that drives a curiosity to find Christ. Worship is not something to be experienced by only those who find the church, but should also be heard and felt by those to maybe do not know Christ. Our heart is to let the heart behind worship be seen upon our shoulders as we lay down our follies and worries to the Savior and share His heart with the people of Portland. 

     The heart behind Lion Sightings is to literally bring the church to the people rather than relying on the people to go to the church. The primary medium of Lion Sightings mission will be music, but we also need help with prayer and general evangelism ministry. It's a simple idea with large ramifications. The idea is for a group of musicians and a prayer group to go into downtown Portland and "stir things up" by (hopefully) bringing about a curiosity in people to know who Christ is and eventually bring lives to him.
     We hope to stir a God driven revival in Portland through this and simply get people interested in who Jesus was and is. This broken city needs the love of Christ and that is all we hope to show them. 

THANKS GUYS!
