By now many of you already know this but Nicole and I made it through the assessment center without to many awful scars. Actually it was an amazing week and I cannot tell you how excited we are to be on this journey with each other and all of you. For the first time in our ministry life I feel like Nicole and I are on the same page and sensing the very samethings. As I drove down the bypass this morning I thought of all of the rich traditions that the city of Marion has experienced from all of those Basketball titles to the Easter Productions of the past. And I couldn't help but look at a few of the churches I drove by and see the fact that it seems like their days have past. As I saw and thought these thoughts my heart was stirred to build a missional minded church to reach into the life's of these precious people. I can hardly wait ot experience all that God has in store for all of us as we add to our number and ultimately add to the work of the Kingdom. Let's continue to stay of our knees as the enemy is trying to do whatever possible to stop what I believe will be a church that not only helps set a revival fire in Marion and Grant County but one that will be in the business of planting other churches around the County, State and Country. Let's go after it and hey remember to enjoy the journey.
Matthew
