Kick off Service Sunday September 14

4501 Oak Grove Pkwy, Minneapolis, MN 55443

Hello, My name is Anthony Bass; my wife and I are in the process of planting a Church in Brooklyn Park, and we are looking to develop a Team of leaders to help us build this Ministry. Endurance Church's vision is to build faithful disciples of Jesus Christ in order to live well and finish strong. As far as my background, I attended undergraduate School at West Virginia State University where I earned a Bachelors of Arts in Independent Studies and Communications. Additionally, in 1998 I was signed on as a free agent with the Minnesota Vikings during our serendipitous 15-1 season. After leaving the NFL, I went on to start my graduate studies, and in graduate school, I obtained a double Master's in Divinity, Practical Theology and Business Administration from Regent in 2008. I’ve been in active ministry for the past 14 years. My ministry experience is diverse: Christian Education Teacher, Student Ministry Admin, Youth Pastor, Church Planter, Bible Teacher, Conference Speaker, and at-risk children and adult mentor. Additionally, I’ve been on mission trips to Bosnia Herzegovina, Haiti, Dominican Republic, and Iraq. I currently hold the position of Church Relations Manager of Minnesota Adult and Teen Challenge, and I am in the process of planting a church in Brooklyn Park, MN. My wife and I currently live in Plymouth and we have 4 children with one more on the way. The intent of my long introduction was to let you know a little about myself and hopefully to encourage you to come join in our effort to combine faith and fitness that will produce endurance for true discipleship to Jesus Christ. Endurance Church's mission is to make faithful disciples of Christ through offering loving disciplined faith-based teaching, providing practical physical and spiritual training, and giving constant encouragement and care, while presenting multiple opportunities to develop and fulfill personal callings. If you are interested or you know someone who may be interested in joining this team, please let us know.

Missions Support November 5, 2013 Dear Friends: I hope and trust that this letter finds you well. I wanted to share an exciting opportunity I have been afforded by moving to Minneapolis and planting Endurance Church. One of the new partners we have connected with is David Gibson who is the Missions Pastor of Grace Church. Because of this partnership, this winter, I will be embarking on a missions’ trip to Northern Iraq from December 1 – December 11. I will work very closely with Pastor David Gibson and former Denver Bronco Steve Fitzhugh while in Iraq. Pastor David Gibson is a former leader of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and is heading up a conference to support and equip first generation Christians in Iraq. We will also be plenary speakers at a Conference where we will be giving our testimonies as well. Here is my request: •Your prayerful consideration of giving financially to help meet these needs: The estimated budget for the Iraq trip, which includes airfare, transportation, accommodation, and meals, is $2,000. Checks can be mailed to Grace Church and are to be made payable to Grace Church as well. Additionally, in the memo section if you could write my name and Iraq missions trip. Our deadline to have money turned in is December 1.
