About 5 months ago, I heard the Lord call me to start a church. After several months of checking out church planting organizations and finishing applying to other churches in case I was mistaken, we're having Sunday night services.
It's crazy.
Part of me thinks I'm crazy.
I have had no salary for the last two years. I have no wife or family of my own, and not even a girlfriend. I have absolutely nothing.
But I'm convinced that this is what the Lord would have me do. This is SUCH an evangelistic and intentional discipleship opportunity, as well as an opportunity to provide a church home to some people who would never have otherwise darkened a church door. It's also such an opportunity for personal growth in many areas, and I'm both excited and terrified.
The Lord has taken care of me very well. I still have a lot of savings due to wise spending, but I believe that in this season, I will finally reap in the financial realm, and not just the spiritual.
The Lord is good. He fills in all the blanks in every situation. This will be an extreme stretch of my faith and maturity, and I will follow wherever the Lord leads. He's given me a glimpse of the overall vision, and I believe He will cause this ministry to expand beyond my wildest expectations.
But for now, I go on absolutely nothing but faith.
