I just read the blog post of our good friend Jesse Quiroz and wanted to share it with my friends here on this blog.

Jesse and Missy will be planting a brand new exciting church just outside of St. Louis and I will keep you updated as to their progress.

Here is the latest from Jesse’s blog.

“WELL…I want to be the first to welcome you to what I believe to be the start of something that will literally bring a ‘GOD’ impact to the St. Louis area.
‘Journey Church’ is a Non-Denominational church-plant that will open its doors in on June 7 of this year in Lincoln County and know the doors are open to ANYONE. If you hate church…just wait. If you’re experiences with people that go to church are ‘negative’ (and that’s a nice word to insert) to say the least…hang on…or if you’re just not too sure about the whole ‘God-thing’…you are what we want.
…and trust me, you’ll have never seen a church quite like this one.
I’ll be checkin’ in quite a bit…stay tuned.
Jesse (Pastor – Journey Church)”

Brenda and I are really excited for what God is going to do through this dynamic dedicated couple.

Each February it seems I end up in Phoenix for Pastor Tommy Barnett’s Pastor’s School.

Going to Phoenix First Pastor’s School is annual pilgrimage to remind me of what is important for the life of a pastor. That pilgrimage always brings me back to the importance of people and how much we all matter to God and to each other.

One of my all time favorite sessions each year is sitting in the Prayer Pavilion either by myself or with just one or two others and listening the voice that gives me real clarity in a world that many times is very cluttered by too many voices.

Here is the prayer pavilion  I love to spend time in.

Another great thing is getting to see friends from all over the country.
