We are settling in and still getting everything unpacked here in Columbia. We had some great help moving us so it was a really smooth trip. Thanks to everyone that came out!
Some quick thoughts on the move thus far:
- We’ve already met some incredible people in the area that are planting churches. I think that God is really up to some big things down here.
- Speaking of…we went to a culture building gathering for Awaken Church this past Sunday. It was great to take part in a service somewhere new and just soak it all in. I’ve been really impressed with their pastor, Jay Hardwick, and I think that they’re gonna have a major impact in the community here in Columbia.
- Lots of you have messaged me or asked me about the church that we’re planting and wanting to know details. Here’s what we know so far…God wants us to take part in a plan bigger than ours. We know we’re called here, we know God is up to something HUGE, and we know that He will fill in the details. We also know that we need His guidance and want to follow His plans and not our preconceived notions. Basically, we are praying that God will let us impact people far from Him and to love them like they’ve never seen before. The rest we’ll have to figure out. More on this to come.
- Speaking of figuring out…pray for us as we continue to search for funding and/or a job for planting a church and Patty starting a chiropractic office. If you want to help us out and make a donation for the church plant, just let us know. You can email me at josh@joshbrickey.com …OR… I hope will have a link here soon where you can donate. I know there’s a lot of churches represented on here, too, so maybe some of your churches would like to help partner with us to get this church off the ground. Get them in touch with us and we’d love to share about what God has placed on our hearts for this area! Every little bit will go a long way!
- On a brighter note, I gotta free White Chocolate Mocha and piece of lemon pound cake at Starbucks today. A local aparment complex bought it for random customers as a promotion. See…God provides. :-)
We will be out of town the rest of this week lining up some stuff for Patty’s chiropractic office so I might not be blogging much. BUT…I will be redesigning this blog and launching it sometime soon so stay tuned. With the new design I…mark my words…will be blogging a lot, so check back.
