It is All Happening Now!

So many things are happening right now!

Our church plant teams in Buffalo and in New York City are preparing for their churches to begin meeting this fall. Constant arrangements to be made in preparation for those. We also have teams on the ground in the LA area and in central Phoenix who are at various stages in their launches.

We have a deal to sell our house in Indiana (closing this Friday!). We have also just entered an agreement to buy a townhouse right in the region where the New York City Metro Area intersects the Philadelphia Metro Area, in Newtown, PA. It is minutes from the New Jersey border and centrally located between all of the projects with which I will be involved! Lots of details still to come together. It will probably be mid-July before we are moved in there.

Lots of churches around the country are also getting involved in Love Prevails this coming Sunday, September 11, the 10 year anniversary of 9/11. The celebration on that day will be a key part to raising the funding Orchard Group needs to prepare for the next decade of church planting in the Northeast and beyond. It will also help us with our personal fundraising for this year. Lots to do for our fundraising for next year, though!

Please pray for Rebekah, Tori, Lucas, Niles, and me as the transition is now not just a future event, but is now right on top of us!
