July 2021 Update!

Welcome In!

We combine the importance of physical and spiritual health by providing a pastoral presence to the fitness community. 

One More Week!

We are just over a week out from launching our next Eleventh Element plant up in Greenville, NC! 
Our planter, Brandon Harwell, has been raising awareness and spreading the word that this new expression of church will begin gathering on July 25th inside CrossFit Greenville. 
Please join us in praying for Brandon, the gym, and for God to be glorified through these efforts. 

Recovery Community

The Lord has led us to have more of an impact in the recovery community than we originally intended. That said, it has truly been a place for Kingdom growth and for Jesus to be magnified. 
Just last week, one of our volunteers in the Leadership Development Pipeline led out during our weekly bible study at a halfway house and he got to experience someone come up afterwards and pray to receive Christ!
It was an awesome opportunity for me to watch a developing leader step into his calling, share the Gospel, and walk someone through a salvation experience!
 
Likewise, the Lord has led Boca Recovery Center to our Saturday morning gatherings at CrossFit Hype! A group of about 10-15 make the trip every weekend and are loving the opportunity to fellowship, hear a message, and exercise!
 
As physical exercise is known to be an incredible supplement to someone in recovery from drugs and alcohol, we hope these kinds of relationships continue to develop and ultimately more come to experience Jesus. 

Institute of Human Performance

Our Eleventh Element location at The Institute of Human Performance continues to THRIVE! 
Our pastor, Josh Good, has been doing an exceptional job growing the community in that gym. His weekly average attendance is up to about 20. Moreover, he has been able to pastor individuals through some pretty difficult life situations that they may not have had help with outside of Eleventh Element. 
 
Josh has also been able to start another gathering inside of IHP on Wednesday Nights. As some people were unable to attend the Saturday gatherings, he is now able to offer that second opportuntiy during a weeknight!

"The Journey"

We are finally in the pre-production stage of our Evangelism Booklet called "The Journey".
We have printed off a small batch and given them out to close friends and family for further review. After the final round of edits, we will order a large number of booklets that can be used anywhere and everywhere. 
 
These booklets can be used as a one-off gift to someone however, they will be best used as a tool for a believer to walk a friend through the Gospel message! 

Looking Ahead
 

We are in the planning stages of launching our first annual 5K fundraiser! The plan is to host this event Mid-October and the proceeds will go towards helping us expand into further gym locations while also being able to help compensate our current EE pastors for their work.  
 
Be on the lookout for further information coming out regarding the 5K! 
 
-----------------------------------------------------
 
We have also had some communication with a few other gyms that are interested in planting an Eleventh Element community inside of their gyms as well. God is bringing the connections we need at the appropriate times for us to continue expansion on his time.

I'm very excited to announce our new scholarship program. We are beginning to fundraise specifically for a fitness scholarship program where EE awards recipients of the scholarship with a free membership to one of our fitness center partners. Winners will receive 4 months of membership at a time where we will then re-assess who the next recipient will be. 
 
As we are combining and elevating the importance of physical and spiritual health while upholding our key value of hospitality, we would love to offer opportunities like this for those who maybe can't afford a membership.  
 
If you feel led to partner financially specifically towards a cause like this, please let us know and we will help you set it up. 

Thank you for all of your continued prayers and support. It's incredible how God is using this ministry to expand His kingdom and I truly feel he has great plans to continue reaching those in the fitness community with the message of the Gospel. 
 
We are currently looking for a few more monthly commitments in regards to fundraising, so we ask that you prayerfully consider partnering financially with Eleventh Element Ministries in whatever capacity you see fit. If you feel led to join us in this regard, please click the button below.
