Things could have been a lot rougher when Kayla and I got assessed as church planters at the Acts 29 Boot Camp in January. We actually found out that I had cancer the day before our final interview. We knew by then that cancer meant we had to put planting a church in Chicago on hold (if you’re new here, you can catch up below – we’re back on track and planting in January 2009).
By God’s grace on the day of our interview we found ourselves in a situation that was the opposite of rough: we were with brothers. It took all of five minutes as we sat in a cold church basement talking about our lives and dreams for us to realize that our three assessors were there for two reasons: love for Jesus, and love for His workers. I left the intense, two hour interview refreshed and excited, feeling humbled and served by my betters.
So if you are in Omaha, Minneapolis, or Duluth please look these guys up, buy them a cold beverage of their choice, and forward me the bill.
Thanks for the kind words brother. I look forward to you touching down in the midwest. Praising God for the clean bill of health and asking that he would you the line to take the Chicagoland by storm for the sake of Jesus’ name.
