My Road

Church Planting? Who would of thought that starting a church would be so challenging. Thinking a clear vision, a doable strategy, and an idea of a great place of worship would be good enough, wrong, this is only part of it. I have seen in the past 8 months a series of changes within a short period of time. Some good and others would be considered minor setbacks. In all this, I realize there is more than just meeting on Sundays when establishing a local church. With every special event, email invites, updates, and posters being placed on windows of local grocery stores the thought stays the same, "Reaching the City", being consistent, building relationships, putting in the time. We always want a quick return from a small investment. We see in the Bible the investment may be small, but the return will be great. I am reminded of the scripture in Psalms that tells us, "Unless the Lord builds the house, we labor in vain." Please keep Vision of Hope in your prayers as we begin our 21 day fast this Sunday.
