Coincidence?

Often when you are following the Lord, things happen that some would call chance or fate but we know that it is much more purposeful and intentional than that. I received an e-mail from the Area Director of Apartment Life in Denver with whom we will be interviewing on Oct.28. She expressed that our situation was unique and that hey had never "taken steps like this before." She means that no one has ever moved from one city to the next in order to become a CARES Team in that city. And no one has ever used Apartment Life as a starting point of a church plant. I love being unique!

But she also said this: "My husband and I are also church planters. We have planted three churches in Colorado and he is the State Director of Missions for the SBC here. It is wonderful to hear that you have a heartbeat for starting something even in the apartment community. I already know of some people that would jump in and help you in the ministry of the Overlook if that is where God wants you to be!!" How cool is that! Another church planter and someone who is charge of church planting for the state of Colorado. Now this may not be a big deal or it may be a vital connection. We'll have to wait and see. But to see God move unknown people in our path with similar heart and calling is encouraging and exciting.
