Well, I’ve been hinting on my twitter account that we had some big news to announce and the day has finally come. I’ll just cut to the chase. In January, we are going to be moving to Columbia, SC to plant a church! Not only that, Patty will be opening up her own chiropractic practice in Camden!
The past couple of years have been awesome here at SpringWell but we knew that it was time to pursue these dreams that God had placed in our hearts. Over the past couple of years, I have been feeling some rumblings from God about planting a church but I fought it. But…eventually God made it obvious through tons of things that He wanted us to do it and that the time is now.
I’m not going to lie, it’s a scary proposition. As of right now, we don’t know where we’re gonna live, how we’re gonna make any money until everything is fully up and running, and basically how we’ll survive. Especially with the state of the economy. But we know that God is faithful and we are certain that this is where God is leading! We’re confident that he will provide.
As for SpringWell, Scott and Bill have been supportive of me through this decision and are standing by me in support of this plant. We know that we’re really going to miss a lot of people at SpringWell. We can honestly say that we were embraced quicker here than we have ever been before and we have made some friendships that we are certain will last a lifetime. We’re going to especially miss the students and leaders that we worked with every week, but we know that God has even bigger things in store for them in the future! We love you all and we will definitely be in touch.
I’ll be talking about the church plant and more in the future. Keep us in your prayers as we seek God’s guidance in these endeavors. Pray that God will do a revolutionary work through us and that thousands will come to know Him.
As sort of a side note, what has God been speaking to you about doing? Whatever it is, just do it. Don’t let life pass you buy without surrendering to the things God wants you to do. More to come…

You joining up with NewSpring? They announced this morning they’re starting a new campus in Columbia, SC.
No…We used to go there when we were in between church staffs, but it was a total coincidence they announced that the same day of my announcement. It’s exciting to see that they’re going there, though!
