Colorado

For those of you who have stuck through minimal posts the last month or so - thank you! It has been an adjustment and we still have not gotten in the groove as of yet. I hope to be a bit more consistent from now on.

Now onto the reason why this post is titled "Colorado". Chris and I are excited that God has clearly called us to plant a church in the Denver area. About a year ago, Chris began to have unrest in his heart. He wasn't exactly sure what that meant but it was clear that at that time God was planning the next step we were to take in the ministry. After a year of closed doors, we began to see that God was directing us toward planting a church. We believe the lessons we learned in New Jersey on culture of ministry, expectations in ministry, work ethic, the ability to work with people and the stamina needed for ministry were critical to what we will be doing in Colorado. We are grateful we had the opportunity to learn those lessons.

In May we took a survey trip out to Colorado where God made it very clear to us that this was where we were to minister and this is where we are to call home. This past weekend we once again traveled to Colorado for some training with Berean Church Fellowship. We had the opportunity to spend time not only with several couples who have already planted a church, but several couples where we are - ready and willing to plant a church. The bond between the church planters within Berean is so awesome! We are excited to be joining the Berean team!

My Chris has a blog "A Church Planter's Journey" where you can read his thoughts on our church planting journey. He includes in his first post several statistics about the Denver area and the great need for new churches. I hope you jump over there and read it!

We are so thankful that my Grandmother has allowed us to come stay with her for the Summer! We are taking this time to make financial partnerships and prepare to move at the beginning of the Fall. Please pray with us as I work and my Chris travels a bit sharing our passion about church planting.
