Been Too Long

It has been more than 2 weeks since my last post. We have been so busy preparing for the Owasso launch that I just haven't taken the time to write like I would like. Here's a few things that have happened recently:

• Almost 2,800 people at the Tulsa campus of LifeChurch.tv over the past 2 weekends - God's time is amazing as the campus fills to capacity - let's launch another campus!
• Owasso core group is assembled and ready for the transition.
• All of the equipment is in and the trailers will be delivered this Friday, January 30th.
• Mock setup, tear down and training this Sunday, February 1st.
• First experiences at the new Owasso campus will be held Sunday, February 8th, with setup on Saturday night the 7th at 7:00 p.m. (because the school is used for basketball on Saturdays in February).
• Official Launch Sunday, February 15th (setup Valentine's night at 7:00 p.m. - this may change so we don't mess up anybody's "heart" day if at all possible)

Someone once told me, and I'm sure I've shared before - find where God is moving and join Him. He is definitely moving here - why don't you join us?

It's Official

The launch date for the Owasso campus is official - February 15th, with a "sneak peak" on February 8th. There's a ton of work to do and we are in full swing!

There are so many examples of God calling people and asking for moves beyond what could ever be imagined by our finite minds - the most common example is Abraham. God told him to leave his family and his country and to into an unknown land in Genesis 12:

'"1 The LORD had said to Abram, "Leave your country, your people and your father's household and go to the land I will show you. 2 "I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. 3 I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you."'

Being called to start an Owasso campus of LifeChurch.tv is at times overwhelming - but I still have my family, my friends and the comfort of my happy little apartment. If Abraham can leave absolutely everything, then certainly I can branch out on this venture with confidence and God will bless it! How about you - are you willing to step out of your comfort zone and start something new and unknown? Maybe it's Owasso, maybe something else...pray for God to move you and He will!

Join us Monday, January 19th at 6:30 p.m. for our next Owasso Core Group meeting.

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and All that Good Stuff

Just wanted to wish you all an incredibly blessed 2009. Life has been so busy these past 2 weeks that I have failed to post anything at all - my apologies. The transition to LifeChurch.tv from Sanctuary is complete and I am now focused on launching the Owasso campus. Although there are many ups and downs in life recently, 2009 is looking to be one of the most amazing years ever.

As God stretches my skills as a parent, friend, leader and Christ follower, I pray that He will bless you and stretch you to be more than you could ever have imagined. God speed in the coming year!
