An Epic Journey

I just returned from Joplin and it’s crazy late.

I am excited about the things God is doing!  I had a great meeting today with Robin Sigars, Drew Ashwell, Kevin & Courtney (potential staff) and the 4 State Men’s Group.  I have been meeting like crazy the last 4 days and it really all seems like a blur,  but the one constant in all the meetings has been just how much God is in what we are doing. Tonight while presenting to the 4 State Men’s Group I found out that one of the gentlemen there was from Derby and had pastored a church there.  Fifteen years ago he was commissioned to study Andover for a possible church plant and felt like there needed to be one there.  The group he was with ended up choosing to plant somewhere else but he said he always hoped that a plant would go in Andover.  He said, “It’s amazing how God does things He brings the right people on board when it’s the right time!”  I couldn’t agree more.  God is definitely bringing about something amazing - my prayer tonight was that He would stretch me into the leader I need to be in order to keep up with His steps!
