An Epic Journey

I have had several people who have asked me about Church Planting and what we will do if it doesn’t work, or we don’t raise enough money. I understand that question well, it is a fear that can easily plague a person. I recently went on a prayer walk and just cried out to God saying, “if this is what you are calling me too, then I will step where ever you say step.” I’m not sure exactly who the money will come from, but I do know where it will come from. I’m not sure what exactly it will look like to go from two people and a baby in our congregation to an entity that is impacting the spiritual landscape of KC, but I do know how it will happen. At the end of the day it is God who brings the growth, it is God who is the funding.

I get scared alright, but I keep thinking of Joshua and Caleb - they knew there were giants in the land, but they also knew God was on their side. I think of David wondering why no one had gone out to show that philistine giant that he could not mock their God.

So, how do I deal with that fear, I focus on trust. It is just like any other spiritual activity - giving money, serving the poor, giving a ride to a hitch hiker, talking about Jesus with your co-worker. It is not easy, it stretches you, but in the end it is an all in or all out thing.

Jenni and I are all in!
