t-town bound

My buddy, Clint Carter and I will hit the road tomorrow afternoon – after a train ride for myself in the morning – to head to Tulsa, a.k.a. T-Town, for what I’m trusting will be a providential time.

Clint has been walking with me through the infancy stages of a church planting endeavor – particularly, the planting of networks of missional communities in large Midwestern urban metropolises in the High and Central Plains of the United States.

As I have been praying about a “base” for this adventure, over the last 10 months, God has been strongly leading my family to Tulsa. And after visiting there for the first time this summer with my family, we have a profound sense of excitement about what God may be up to.

Clint and I will be there Friday night through Monday afternoon, meeting with local pastors and community leaders to continue to learn about the spiritual ‘climate’ and seek advice, encouragement, warnings that they would see fit to share, canvassing and “prayer-walking” areas that could serve a “base” for the collective and “hubs” for these first missional communities in the city of Tulsa, and visiting some church worship gatherings.

I’m looking forward to how God will speak. “Open the eyes of my heart…”
