After four years of church planting near downtown L.A., the Lord began to place a burden on the hearts of Brodie and Katie McClain for unreached and unchurched areas across the globe. After a lot of prayer and a short-term trip, the Lord led them to the Republic of Georgia as the answer to this prayer. Working with a fellowship of national believers, the goal is to see a gospel church planted in each of the 6000 villages across the country. They have established Alpha Omega School as an outreach, which is a fairly intense program that has continued to grow. God has been working mightily through the school, using it to endear them to the community and allowing them to gain the trust of those they live amongst. Brodie is also pastoring a small church plant in a neighboring city, where they have recently secured a new building and are seeing the church thrive and grow.
