When I started out on this journey, I had a sneaky suspicion that God might be asking me to plant a church in the near future. Perhaps that's why I was so opposed to the idea. Maybe that's why I started my leadership academy course with my heels dug deep. I wanted to learn and navigate through some of of my challenges but I didn't want to plant a church.
And as the year rolled on by my heart grew. It grew towards His. I was challenged in all areas of my faith and I began to hear His heart beat louder than before. That's when I started to recognise His love for the lost. That's when things changed. I started to understand the 'why'. The why people gave up everything. The selling of possessions and the moving away from family and friends. This incredible pursuit. For the sake of the world.
Slowly I moved in closer and together Johannes and I investigated this idea of church planting. It was then when love was awakened and we could no longer look back. A longing for a greater measure of the kingdom of God was birthed in us. We went from treading carefully into a full sprint in a matter of months. We had tasted something irresistible and we wanted more. "Holy Spirit come and have your way in us."
And just like that we were fully on board. Now today we are 1 week away from moving to the town that the Lord has laid on our hearts. We have had our house on the market for some time now and we've had no offers. We have no address or place to move to, but we have a date set and we have a heart full of faith.
