What an incredible week we experienced last week over our Spring Break! Our family, along with several other families on our launch team were able to go and spend some time in the Kingwood/Atascocita area. We had many God-moments that so confirmed we were right where we were meant to be.

One of the many exciting moments that took place was one of our desires was to meet the superintendent of the schools in the area to discuss possible venues we could use for our church plant. Well, the first item on our agenda was to observe a school that our 11 yr. old would attend. No sooner than we entered the offices and introduced ourselves, to our left stood 3 people! (you guessed it!) The Superintendent, along with his Assistant, who is the facilities director of the schools were standing right there. (talk about God!) After talking with him for quite some time, I found that he is a christian man that loves God. By the end of our visit as I shared a glimpse into our vision his comment was, “whatever you need, let me help you!” We left the school sensing the Lord telling us… “whatever you need, let me help you”. These moments were daily as we were there…

One of our team members was in the process of looking for a job and an apartment to live in. Within 24 hours, they were not only able to find an apartment that only God could orchestrate, but was able to find a job in the profession they are in and the employers so appreciated her heart that they are allowing her to custom tailor her own schedule that would allow her to work for the church as she so desires.

Another team member who is a businessman, sold his business in December 2009, and began a new venture. He has been traveling to Kingwood on multiple occasions now meeting with clients that he’s been able to establish relationship with and God is opening huge doors for him and his new business that will bring a tremendous benefit to the city! In fact, while traveling with this businessman, we stopped at a local Starbucks in Kingwood, and as he was situating his product two men walked by who were inquisitive about his product. Well, one hour later, not only did they buy product, but come to find out the gentleman were head associates of a large corporation that sold acoustics and products to church organizations. (Cool huh!) Through our conversation with them, we were the able to retrieve multiple contacts for the area.

These and many other stories have been taking place with every trip we’ve taken. The steps of a team after God are ordered by the Lord. There is nothing more satisfying and fulfilling than to know that God is not only orchestrating your steps, but also having the path carved out right before your eyes before you even arrive (the superintendent). As we returned from Kingwood to our current home in Baton Rouge, God was not done! We received a phone call the very next day that our house in Arkansas that has been on the market for well over a year had a buyer. This by far has been an exclamation point of God’s reaffirming arm!

Our heart is burning more and more for the Kingwood area and also a supernatural compassion for the people there. The countdown has begun for our move, and we couldn’t be more excited to do what God has called us to do.
