Vision

Vision is a great thing. The Bible talks about it and how important it is to our lives. Right now I am in the process of taking the things that are in my heart and in my head and trying to creatively put them on paper. I am a terrible writer, but I have a great imagination. Why is it so hard to put thoughts to paper?

The Research Begins

I am now back from our 3 day planning and strategy retreat and I am beginning to focus on certain areas of ministry for the church plant. Right now I am focusing on recruiting a worship leader. I feel that this is one of the most vital parts that we need.

This is a call to all who read this blog that if you have any ideas on where to look for people who are called to lead worship. We are currently looking into CFNI to see what they offer, but we are open to any ideas.

It's Here

Well it is finally here. I finished my first 2 days on staff with Grace Covenant and let me tell you, I felt overwhelmed. I felt like a new kid at a new school. I already knew everyone, but being on the other side of the fence gives you a different perspective. We have been working on the church plant for over a year now with some of the vision and direction, but know that I have 3 full days to devote to it, I kinda felt lost. Weird huh?

Anyway, I love it. I will be there for the next 12 months working with the staff doing some projects, and building a team to launch the church. The fast tract has started. I would ask all my readers to pray for us. As we start this process we will need God’s direction and favor to open doors. Please also pray that we are strategic in the process, but also do not lose sight of the relationships during the process.
