We've Been Adopted

Last night James and I met with the Elders of Brookville Road Community Church and shared with them our plans for starting a new church in Escondido, CA. It was exciting being able to interact with the Elders and to answer their questions about The Branches Community Church. At the end of our meeting together the Elders voted and the result is... we are now officially recorded as a daughter church of BRCC! It's great having a "parent church" that will be offering their support as this young church gets off the ground.

I long for the day that the Elders of The Branches can sit across the table from a man who has been called by God to start a church and is seeking our support. We want to raise up leaders who will fully embrace the call of Christ to "go" to all nations. It is our dream to plant churches up and down the coast of California as well as start a church/churches in Northern Ireland. But for now we take it one step at a time, and last night we took the step of being "adopted" as a part of a church planting movement that wants the name of Christ to be exalted in every corner of the earth.
