Back From Texas

It is so good to be home. The trip back was trouble free except for the usual "2 minute delay" (45 minutes) to fix a switch on our plane. The past week has been productive for the simple reason that I had the opportunity to talk to most of our supporting pastors in Texas at the Hillsboro meeting. We are blessed to have good men leading churches that are behind us 100%. My visit to Vista Pointe in Hobbs NM was encouraging as well.

I have to admit it was discouraging to see such a lack of synergy and shared vision at the State meeting in Hillsboro. I pray that the leadership in the state will be able to build the cohesion necessary to work together to build a healthy CP movement in Texas for the future. Marion Reed has done a fantastic job of sharing the vision for starting new churches in TX and has been instrumental in raising sufficient funds to send out new church planters. Now that the money is there, it would be great to see men catch the vision of starting churches, then have the churches of TX rally behind them, giving their blessing and encouragement to see it happen.
