2 Year Milestone

Well, it is hard to believe in so many ways, but Crossroads Church experienced and huge milestone this past week. On April 1, 2007, Crossroads officially launched as a church! We had already been meeting in some capacity since mid June of 2006 but everything became official on April 1, 2007. We did lots of publicity and door knocking and got everything ready to welcome guests and act as an official church. So in lots of ways, we just had a two-year-old birthday this past week.

That is truly amazing and mind-blowing. In so many ways, it seems like Crossroads has been around for much longer than that and in other ways, it is easy to look back and wonder where the past two years have gone. God has been so good and faithful to us over these past two years. The ways that He has led and provided have been astounding at times. I am so grateful for the call of God on my life and the life of Crossroads Church. It has been a wonderful journey. Some times have been filled with great joy while other times have been filled with great darkness and stress but through it all, the call of God on my life and this church has rung loudly!

I am thankful for the people who are Crossroads Church. I am thankful for the original 20 who have been on board for over 2 years and I am thankful for the people who God has recently brought on board (as recently as this past Sunday) and for everyone in between. The journey from 20 people to 100 and from a rented space to owning our own building has been crazy cool and I am so grateful to God for all He has done.

Two "official" years behind us and many more to go. The work here in Morgantown and in the Dominican Republic is just beginning. We have much to do for God as we march forward in faithful obedience. May God find us doing exactly what He has called us to on the Day of His Return!
