Pastor Souzy delivers a heartfelt 10-year anniversary message for XP Church, celebrating a decade of faith, innovation, and community built around the gaming world. He reflects on the church's humble beginnings in a basement, the challenges of early technology, and the transformative power of God through stories of real people—gamers from around the globe whose lives have been changed by faith, healing, and belonging. The core message centers on a bold vision for the next 10 years: shifting from a primary focus on outreach to a deeper commitment to discipleship, community, and practical evangelism. Pastor Souzy outlines a roadmap for 2026 that includes launching a men’s ministry, revamping community care, training parents in discipleship, offering practical life skills (like cooking and fitness), and strengthening in-game communities and real-world meetups. He emphasizes that the church’s mission is not about video games, but about people—equipping believers to live out their faith in tangible ways. The sermon concludes with a passionate appeal for financial support, urging every member to contribute, not out of obligation, but as an act of worship, to sustain the church’s mission and make the vision a reality.
The church’s mission is not about video games—it’s about people, relationships, and transforming lives.
The next 10 years will prioritize discipleship, community, and practical evangelism over pure outreach.
Practical training in leadership, parenting, men’s ministry, and life skills (like cooking and fitness) will be central to future growth.
Community care and intentional follow-up systems are essential to prevent people from falling through the cracks.
Financial support is critical—23 top givers make up 68% of income, but every member can contribute meaningfully.

Celebrating 10 Years of Faith and Community
“God is on your side and wants to reforge you. Sometimes it may hurt when we're cut a little bit. Sometimes when I have that desire to be selfish, the last thing that I want to hear is, Matt, you know you should really love others. It's the last thing I want to hear, but I'll tell you, it's what I need to hear.”
Stories of Transformation: People Behind the Screens
“It's about people like Lucius from Brazil who that day had already pre-decided later tonight, I'm going to take my life. And then is on Twitch watching video games and stumbles on one of our streams, ends up giving his life to follow Jesus.”
From Outreach to Discipleship: A Shift in Focus
“We have to teach them, love them, serve them, disciple them. So if I could go back 10 years, I would be not focused at all in outreach but have a healthier ratio of what that looks like.”
The 10-Year Roadmap: Discipleship, Community, Outreach
