"Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, press on towards the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus."
Philippians 3:13-14
It has been a year since my family packed up our stuff, left our jobs, and said goodbye to the lives we led before moving to New England. This year was full of new experiences. We planted a church for the first time, renovated a building to meet in, passed out Bibles door-to-door, etc. What an amazing time to be alive!
We are grateful for every person and ministry who has chosen to pour into our lives. We know we are not alone here in a land where only 32% of people attend church. (www.gallup.com) We love the family God has created in our 1year church plant. They are people of substance and a real love for God.
We are truly excited about the new year, 2012! We believe the growth we have already seen will take off to new heights. We love worshiping God together, building relationship together, and serving Christ by His love in our communities. Encouraging one another in their personal lives and even other ministries is a priority. Above all, we want God's Kingdom to come and His Will to be done in New England.
"Your Kingdom come, Your Will be done on earth as it is in heaven."
Matthew 6:10
