A New Beginning

So, here is a little update on what has been happening in my life.

Sometime back in February, I decided to start a new church. There had been few changes with my ministry prior to that time, and after a time of reflection, soul-searching, and somewhat blindely following an inner calling that couldn't be resisited anymore, I shared my thoughts with my wife and we decided to accept this as a leading from God and give our best effort in making a dream come true for God's kingdom.

Now, it's been about 5 months since that morning when I finally made the decision. I remember the moment I finally made the decision how I was so excited and grateful to God. I knew it was from God - what he wanted from me, and I felt so happy to know that I would spend rest of my life doing something not only what I always wanted to do, but what I knew God wants me to do as well.

Well, the past five months certainly haven't disappointed me. Not so much because everything went perfectly well, but because I am constantly reminded that God is so faithful. It has to be!!! I am doing this only based on faith, and I know this faith didn't come within me but from God himself.

a summary of what's happened during the past five months:

1. Application to my denomination (Reformed Church in America) with a vision to start a multiethnic, postmodern, and missional church in Orange County. Plan approved by the denomination.

2. Gathering a core team: Thankfully I got connected to several new people I hadn't known and they were committed to get involved in this vision.

3. Securing a place at The Block at Orange. We were able to secure
