An Epic Journey

So, I am currently on another Wichita trip that is chocked full of meetings with Pastors and Community leaders.  Yesterday I met with pastors from East-side Community Church (great guys - know what they are talking about, can’t wait to learn from them), Riverlawn (Jeff Isaacs has been nothing but supportive - he is a real asset to the community), Northwest Christian Church (Rodger Thompson and I had a good time eating and sharing what God has been doing in our ministries, I’m excited to see where that partnership takes us), Westlink (Todd is just a great leader, I know the guy is incredibly busy but he still takes time to meet with me and ask great questions.).

I also had the opportunity to talk with the Director of the Andover Senior Citizen’s Club about ways that Epic Church can serve them.  I am excited about the doors God is opening for us to give back to people who have been giving to this community for a long time!  It is also a perfect location for our launch team meetings and she is really interested in renting it to us.

I talked with a lady from City Hall about bringing youth groups on missions trips to serve in the community.  It’s great to start to put some feet to the ideas we have and to share them with others, I am looking forward to the relationship we can have with the City of Andover and getting to serve there!  I also made contact with the Chamber and am excited about what they are doing and the possibility of serving with them - Garrett has been a huge help to me so far and I am looking forward to working with the whole team to find ways we can serve!

Today, I am starting it all again.  I am meeting some guys for lunch and then Jenni and I are taking a couple out to dinner that have been looking for a church - I am excited to get to meet them and hopefully form a friendship!

Tomorrow - Celebrate our Anniversary!  We are going to a Japanese Steak House and then on to a Hockey Game (Jenni’s choice - Best wife ever award!!!)

Sunday/Monday - We present to a church missions board about Epic (they are graciously hosting us in their home and providing us lunch).  Monday I am in Joplin and meet with some pastors, potential staff members and an organization that has a passion to see churches planted!

KEEP PRAYING!!!!
