The next step in the movement


The vision God gave us for planting a mulitiplicity of churches along the I-79 corridor took a major step yesterday. Aaron Johnson and his family, and Andrew and Allison Johnson rolled into Washington, PA from Little Rock, AR with a full Penske truck and a couple of cars in tow. A team of 10 people, including 4 StoneBridgers and 6 guys from FBC had both families moved into their homes in 90 minutes.

David made the comment that he believes the Johnsons will be able to reach the 20 and 30-somethings of Washington with great success. Their new plant will be a parachute drop and there are some serious challenges that come along with that territory, but I pray that God will give them some amazing victories in the months to come. Be sure to pray for this planting effort in the weeks and months ahead.

It was just three years ago this week that our family moved to Morgantown to begin the process of planting StoneBridge Church. We have enjoyed a God-sized adventure and look forward to future windows of opportunity to plant churches in the region.
