The Blueprint Ministries (TBM) is a Spirit-led, Gospel-driven organization of believers who have a passion to act on the Great Commission in innovative and impactful ways. Our goals are:
    • Outreach: reach the unchurched, and those who have been discouraged by previous church experiences.
    • In-reach: train, grow, and release Spirit-led leaders who can replicate disciples and train other leaders for the Kingdom of God.
    • Leadership Development: foster continuous education to help existing leaders grow and strengthen their gifts and leadership skills.

TBM is a "Fresh Expression" ministry that emerged as an online faith community in 2013, and has been practicing multi-modal discipleship since that time. Our online gathering has members and guests from various regions of the USA (NH, NJ, GA, PA, MA) as well as other countries (Kenya).  During our weekly fellowship, we embrace the "in-between time" (a focus on days "in-between" Sunday worship services) to exalt (God), equip (saints) and encourage (each other) for the Kingdom-business we've been called to. A good deal of our discipling approach centers on unleashing God-given talents of our participants, and reminding all attendees that our journey is a 7-day-a-week lifestyle. All are welcome to participate in our discipleship gatherings, and then challenged to immediately apply what's been poured out into their respective contexts and settings.

TBM convenes for weekly fellowship on Wednesday evenings at 7:15pm ET on Zoom. Those wishing to join can use the following information:

This past summer a young camper arrived at check out without his backpack.  His mother questioned where it was, and the boy shrugged, and he said, “I don’t know”.  Embarrassed, I asked the camp counselor to go and find it and apologized to the mother.   The young boy quickly spoke up and he said, “It’s all my fault”.  “Why is it your fault?” I said.  “Because I hid it.”  "Why did you hide it?" The boy said, “cause I want to stay.”
 
I feel like this in the stillness of the outdoors, I want to stay.  I enjoy seeing campers make new friends, try new activities, enjoy time around Bible study with inspiring words from the Camp Pastor and staff mentors.   Camp helps create an atmosphere of worship through the study of God’s Word together.  I feel thankful.  This sweet melody of camp helps to create harmony in life.

Each of us plays an important role as followers of God - as Christians our role is to engage with God and our neighbors.  We do this by being prepared to share the reason for the hope we have in God. In 2022, we will equip ourselves to speak the truth in love with gentleness and respect. Reserve your space today with a $100 deposit.

Support for camp 
Please consider helping us finish the year strong.  As we continue ministry this season and beyond, we are raising support for two areas.   First, Sentinel is MISSION FIRST as we never turn a family away for the inability to pay for camp.  Donations are needed to help with scholarship support.   Secondly, we are raising funds for new projects: a playground next to the Hobby house and a new bathroom next to the Wigwam.

Pastor Mark Heinrichs shares with us a new endeavor that has grown out of the church he serves!

Working with the congregation of Sutton, VT Freewill Baptist Church, I have developed a YouTube channel called “Vermont Country Pastor.” In March 2020, the Co-vid 19 pandemic shut down our in-person Sunday morning worship for months. In its stead, I began producing a video sermon on a weekly basis that I uploaded to YouTube. This was done to connect to home-bound church members and perhaps attracting new inquirers. Like many of you, we feel that we have a lot to contribute and have looked at opportunities to expand our reach.

With the return of Sunday morning in-person worship in June of 2020, we expanded the weekly video to include major parts of our regular worship. What has happened as a result of this is astonishing. As of today (11/23/21) we have had 944 visits to Vermont Country Pastor. We have regular viewers from Washington State, Oregon, Florida and South Carolina. Many thanks to our congregation at Sutton Church for their substantial contributions to the effort. This fantastic result was accomplished through the purchase and use of a home video camera bundle and video editing software that I use on my home computer. Please visit Vermont Country Pastor. Any questions or comments please e-mail me at mheinr895@gmail.com. Glory to God!

Recently I read Philip Yancy’s memoir, “Where the light fell”. Yancey’s latest work is about  growing up in a family and church environment, devoid of grace, mostly angry, cruel, and self-righteous. The memoir is a painful read, until the near end, when Yancey, while a student, surprisingly meets Jesus. Yancy describes this moment as not quite a vision, but very real. It was a Christ of love and grace meeting him for the first time. And from that point in time Philip Yancy begins to set aside his toxic family and church life, to understand and receive God’s grace. As exhibited in many of Yancy’s writings, this discovery of grace occurred despite the abuse he suffered in home and in his church.

In small way, the memoir reminded me of once being a jaded Bible College senior, wondering what in this church culture was truly from Christ, honoring of God, and what was a fabrication, not of Christ, and an obstacle to knowing Christ in a deeper and deeper way. During a year of sorting that all out, the only path was to know Christ more, and have the courage to set aside what was not of Christ.  Like Yancy, C.S. Lewis and Bonhoeffer became my guides, and as time went on Eugene Peterson, Henri Nouwen, and Richard Foster. There was so much more to Jesus Christ than my church culture had led me to believe. The spiritual paradox I pondered was that Jesus gave His own light to see Him more clearly and deeply like He had a flashlight on a video camera pointing to Himself. And to paraphrase Bonhoeffer, the words of Scripture are the objective Word of God, but then the Holy Spirit speaks to us from Scripture, and the Word becomes the Word to us. It is a bit liking stepping out of the darkness and walking deeper into the light.

Once I was accused of preaching too much about grace. The accusation went something like this: “No matter what passage you preach from, you always get back to God’s grace and accepting Christ.” All preachers have hobby horses. But something about my Bible College experience, left me with a concern, that if we lose Grace, we have lost the Gospel, and we damage our relationship with Christ and with other people. Christ's light illumines His grace. Our comfortable darkness abets our not comprehending the Light, and we obstruct the receiving of God’s grace and truth. Even when we believe, the light sometimes get put under bushel, and we believe grace is a limited commodity.  

During Advent, I read Luke and John together. I am reminded that Christ is totally God and totally human. One Gospel speaks of the fleshly Christ born to a virgin in stable and greeted by uncouth shepherds, but heralded by angels. The other Gospel speaks to us about the eternal, infinite, yet veiled Christ. And from this Christ flows, like a mountain cascade, grace upon grace to every person who will receive welcome light and grace, and Christ Himself.

If people on the fringes of the light, or stumbling in the darkness to see the Grace in God’s people and in Christ’s Church, where will they see it?
