Vision360 Unveils New Website

Orlando, FL—Vision360, a global church planting movement, recently unveiled a new website at http://vision360.org/ to provide church planters with a tool to help fulfill the organization’s vision: “Collaborate to accelerate the global movement of Jesus.”

The new site focuses on cities with which Vision360 is currently collaborating and allows potential church planters to connect directly with these cities to become part of the church planting movement. The site also showcases a media-rich resources section and provides curriculum for training church planters.

“Vision360 isn’t an American missions organization, but a global city engagement group of Jesus followers with a U.S. division,” said Chief Visionary Officer Bob Roberts.

Vision360 anticipates that the site will continue to evolve along with the organization and will play a large part in resourcing the needs of its global church planting movement.

“If you want to see and experience what it means to collaborate, but more specifically how that collaboration will accelerate the global movement of Jesus, this web site is for you,” said Rich Carney, Chief Operating Officer for Vision360.

Vision360 (Orlando, Fl.) is a global movement that resources and supports faith leaders and church planting networks around the world. Since Vision360 was founded in 2006, the organization has helped launch collaborative movements in ten U.S. cities, assisted with more than 250 church plants, and two Global Collaborative Communities representing more than 20 major cities globally. Its vision is to “Collaborate to accelerate the global movement of Jesus.” More information about Vision360 can be found on its website at http://vision360.org

Effective Immediately: Vision360 Board of Directors Announce Appointment of New Chief Operating Officer

Orlando, FL—The Board of Directors of Vision360, a global church planting movement, today announced the appointment of Dr. Rich Carney as Chief Operating Officer. Dr. Carney serves as Associate Pastor for Ministries and Spiritual Growth at Eastside Baptist Church (Marietta, GA) and is well known for facilitating and developing a nationwide city-reaching and church planting strategy for the Southern Baptist Convention.

“Rich brings a unique set of skills,” said Bob Roberts, Chief Visionary Officer for Vision360. “Having headed up the focus for city engagement at the North American Mission Board he gets city-reaching and church planting. Having worked globally in the Department of Defense and around the world on logistics and security, he understands operations. I’m really excited he’s coming on board and believe he will help take Vision360 to the next level.”

Carney’s role at Vision360 will be to run day-to-day operations. “What excites me most about Vision360 is the opportunity to serve alongside some of the most sold out men and women this side of heaven who love the peoples of the world,” said Carney. “It will require sacrifice, commitment and spiritually empowered determination. But in the end, change is coming and all those who step forward will experience ministry on a whole new level.”

Carney will replace Max Hooper, who, with his wife Mindy, will be transitioning into a new leadership role at Campus Crusade for Christ International, and will continue to develop and promote global church movements for people to understand and know the love of Jesus. The Board of Directors and team members express deep gratitude for the Lord’s hand of blessing over Vision360 through Max and Mindy Hooper.

Carney will be moving to Orlando and working exclusively with Vision360. “To say I expect great things would be an understatement,” said Carney. “So buckle up, stay on your knees in prayer and sing a new song for the Lord will be lifted up so that all will be drawn to Him.”

Vision360 (Orlando, Fl.) is a global movement that resources and supports faith leaders and church planting networks around the world. Since Vision360 was founded in 2006, the organization has helped launch collaborative movements in ten U.S. cities, assisted with more than 250 church plants, and two Global Collaborative Communities representing more than 20 major cities globally. Its vision is to “Collaborate to accelerate the global movement of Jesus.”
