The last three months have been a whirlwind and I am trying to catch my breath. Just got back from Washington PA from a 3 day planning meeting for CityReach 2008. It was an intense three days of planning and visioneering, as we are expecting between 250-300 to show up in Washington next June for 7 days of intense ministry in the city and intense worship and teaching in the evenings.
I have been watching intently as several new churches have launched this month. Two churches in our region launched the last two Sundays, LifePoint in Washington PA, and Iron City in the North Hills area of Pittsburgh. I am praying that God will build great churches in each of these locations, and that we will see many more planted in the I-79 corridor. One thing that I am reminded of watching these launches is how hard it is to plant churches in this part of the country, but how rewarding it is to watch God work in spite of difficult situations.
This fall is going to be extremely busy, with two more trips on the calendar, a trip to our Church Planters Huddle in Memphis in late October, and a trip to visit supporting pastors in central Texas in November one week before deer rifle season opens in WV.
