Here are the latest happenings with the project:
#1 - We signed on with Passion-4-Planting! A church planting & coaching organization. They will assist with a myriad of issues dealing with basic admin; honing of Vision & Core Values; checklists for equipment, funding, and admin. They come alongside the team and I to ensure we are tracking and don't lose focus of the small things that will bite you later. It is money well worth spending!
#2 - Purchased a MacBook Pro! Wow! What a sweet machine. I was like a little kid the day it arrived. Having been a PC guy my entire life, this should be quite the learning experience.
#3 - I am working on some presentation packages for churches I hope to visit in the near future. Please be praying about this for me, in that my creativity skills are stretched and the data is both pertinent and high impact!
#4 - Fundraising is in full swing - please continue to pray for that! Speaking of, I was offered a spot for a booth at the upcoming Virginia Christian Church conference in August. I need to create an ad and some material to hand out. The object of this is to meet some folks and hopefully get some interest in the project, and then to hopefully speak at their churches for support and prayer! Please also be praying about that!
#5 - **BIG NEWS!!!** In August we will have a HUGE announcement concerning some staffing issues! I am so stoked I can hardly contain myself - but I must wait until the folks complete Church Planting Assessment prior to announcement of our Worship Pastor and Family Life Pastor! Please pray for our trip to Johnson City, TN in August and for these two folks!
As you can see, we have tons going on! Please continue to keep us in prayer and for those of you supporting us financially - We cannot THANK YOU enough!! Mad Love to U!

i'll drop you a line. i totally remember you now, i didnt know. i wasnt dissagreeing with you.i thought what you said is really right. and talking (typing) things out loud is how i process. so when i talk like that, i am also formulating what i think. i know, not the brightest way to go about it.
so when does your plant start? has it already? let me know, thats so exciting! we are planting a church as well, we launch in Oct.
would love to talk about it.
i am adding your blog to my bloglines. hit me back. great to hear from you, long long time no see.
Hello!
I found your blog through a comment on Vince Antonucci's page, and immediately passed it along to my husband. He one of the pastors at a church in the Lehigh Valley, and we're thrilled to hear about your plant! I'm looking forward to keeping up with your journey through this blog.
We love the area, and are excited to see God moving here!
