We are getting close to taking our first steps

I can't thank you guys enough for all your prayers lately. We have pretty much settled in on a location for the new church plant. We hope to be focusing our efforts on Sheboygan Falls and Kohler. Both of these cities are side by side and we believe, are a great place to start a new church. It looks like the name of the new church will be, The Journey Church. This name keeps coming back to us as a name that seems to capture what this new church is all about. We are all on a spiritual journey but just at different points along the way. It is our desire to connect with people who are not yet Christ followers on their spiritual journey. We desperately want to connect with people who are spiritually confused.

I met a really neat guy in Sheboygan Falls just a couple of days ago. He shared with me some of the reasons that he is not all that interested in church. After explaining what we "do" at New Life here in Plymouth and what The Journey Church will be like he genuinely seemed interested in checking out a church like this. People like my friend in Sheboygan Falls are all over the place. They just need someone to tell them about God on terms they can relate to and come to grips with. Thanks for all you guys do in slowly but surely making this God sized dream become a reality.
