Starting a new church...the journey begins...

Ok - over the past several months, I've been thinking I should document this journey of starting a new church, and, this morning, well, I think its time to begin. Since last night was one of the first official meetings we conducted with some of the 'launch team', I thought this documentation was well past due! You see, last night we met (over 20 of us) to pray around the town and seek God's wisdom in planting this church here...it was really cool! Back to what I started here...anyway, I was in Spokane in January helping a friend of mine lead worship for a men's purity conference (Pure Warriors) and I got a call from Jim Penhollow of East 91st Street Christian Church who lives in Portland and works to recruite church planters for the Northwest. Since he was instrumental in 2003 in getting me to leave a wonderful life in Tennessee for the unknown world of helping to plant a church in the Seattle suburbs, we had a bit of a track record. Anyway, after a quick no, but a promise to pray, I returned to the Seattle area to begin praying, dreaming and thinking about the possibilities...(to be continued...)
