God is leading us to plant a church. We just don't know where specifically.
That seems a little odd doesn't it? But I've come to realize that's often how God leads us. He told Abram, "Go from your country and your kindred and your father’s house to the land that I will show you. " (Genesis 12:1, ESV). Go, and I will show you where. In Acts 16:6-12 Paul and company intended to go into the region of Bithynia, but God led them instead to the province of Macedonia. And there, in Philippi, a vibrant church was born.
In the coming months, we trust God will solidify the location to us. In the meantime, the church planting process consists of maps and prayer.

In the future, we'll visit these places and pray. For now, we look at maps and pray.
Please pray with us that God would make it clear where He would have us plant a church.
Thank you!
