We have spent the past couple of days unpacking box after box. The house is looking better all the time and we will even be able to park one van in the garage tonight. We've gotten tons of help, for which we are grateful.
I am sitting in the library down the road and people watching as I type. We have been doing a bit of the same in our neighborhood. We've been blessed to meet a few neighbors already and are excited to see what is to come.
With a couple of friends last night I reminded us all of what success looks like in this venture.
- It does not look like getting a bunch of Christians together to do church the way we always thought it could be done.
- It does look like people coming to love God for the first time through obedience to Christ, growing together because Christian maturity doesn't happen in a vacuum, and serving others because that's the goal of the gospel.
Donations are coming in, the launch team is being assembled, a website will be up and running soon, my office will be unpacked, contacts are being made, and opportunities are being realized.
Thank you, Lord. You are good.
