We have Lift Off!

Today has left me speechless and absolutely drained. I can barely muster the energy to type this blog. I've been riding a massive wave of emotion all day long. Can't tell you how much our team appreciated (and needed) all the prayers and encouraging texts, emails and phone calls from people across the globe. Thank you.

The Pursuit Christian Church successfully launched today with 139 people in attendance. Half of them were launch team members of The Pursuit and people from supporting churches in Florida and Indiana but the other half were first time guests!

The thing I am going to bed celebrating and the first thing I will think of when I wake up tomorrow morning is how I saw God calling people back to Him right in front of our eyes.

I promise there will be a lot more said in the days to come (probably some great pictures too) but please know we serve a faithful God who is madly in love with His people and who will never stop searching for those who are far from Him.

I love my job!

Searching for Relationships

I have heard several people say how difficult it is to make friends in South Florida. I am so thankful for the people God has pulled together through The Pursuit Christian Church in such a short time. The coolest thing is He is adding new people every single week who come and see a community of people who truly care for one another. To this point, everyone who has come to check out The Pursuit has chosen to be a part of it! While it's likely this will not always be the case, I attribute this to the fact everyone of us wants to be connected with others. After all, God did not design us to go through life alone.

It's absolutely amazing how densely populated South Florida is and yet so many are still missing out on one of the most important elements in life.

You are invited to come and see for yourself! This Sunday is our first official Celebration Service. This is an event you will not want to miss! Below is a map to the Floridian Ballroom at Pines Blvd and 178 in the heart of Pembroke Pines. The service begins at 10:30 a.m. I'd get there early if you can!
