Pieces of our Mission

Just returned from speaking at a church east of Cincinnati about the recent impact of church planting in the northeast. That church supports our new plant in Annapolis, Maryland.

I'll be meeting with the team in Annapolis in the upcoming days as well as with our team in nearby Baltimore.

I'll also be participating in a college course entitled "Exegeting the City" in New York City as part of Orchard Group's partnership with Ozark Christian College.

Along the way I'll be also be spending some time in NJ and PA. Finally, I'll be speaking for a missions weekend at a church near Reading, PA.

Busy days -- all exciting pieces of our overarching mission to plant growing and reproducing chruches in New York and the Northeast!

First 100 Days

I have been on the road a lot for fundraising and to work with our church plant teams. In the past 100 days I have made trips to:

New York City
Albany, New York
Las Vegas
Miami
Cincinnati
Louisville
Denver
Salt Lake City
Grayson, Kentucky
Buffalo, New York (well, the airspace above the city, at least! weather kept me from ever landing there)

Rebekah and Tori have also visited New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvannia during this time. Rebekah and Niles went with me to Albany.

I'm tired! I'm also very excited by what I see. Seeds planted in the past are being harvested now. People all over the country are beginning to partner with us financially as well, though there is still much more needed.

P.S. The ten year anniversay of 9/11 is six months from the date I am posting this. Churches around the country are committing to a special offering that day (or other creative ways to give) to NY Church Planting in celebration of the reality that despite the evil behind 9/11, Love Prevails in NY and the Northeast United States.
