This past Saturday evening about a dozen folks gathered in a condo in downtown Lincoln to mark the very first Vision Meeting for Project 2 Pillars.  We shared some Yai Yai’s, got to know each other, and talked about the vision of 2 Pillars Church.  Another thing we did was to go around the room and have each person detail how they ended up there that night.  The stories and linkages were amazing: some found 2 Pillars through the web, some through a friend, some through a friend of a friend who lives in a different state, and some through another church.  What stood out to me the most was the way in which God had brought this motley crew together.  Six months ago I didn’t know any of the people in that room with the exception of one.

Some of the folks that were there on Saturday will be part of the 2 Pillars Launch Team and some won’t.  Some will dedicate a part of their lives to getting this thing off the ground and others will steer clear of the challenge or follow a different direction that God has for them.  Church planting is hard.  I strive to make that clear.  At this stage of the game, we’re looking for folks that are interested in rolling up their sleeves and getting after it.  My prayer is that God will call some of those who were there and some of you who weren’t to roll up your sleeves and get after it with us.
