I wish I had taken a photo of the 50 people lined up across the church stage gathered one by one. A team of college students and 3 families. The families, one young newly married couple that met while attending ISU and attending the college ministry Salt group. The second family has been one of the worship team members with wife and young kids. The third family, a husband and wife are the parents of the worship leader and a pastor of 40 years. The commitment and sacrifice these people are making to pick up everything they have and everything they know to move to a new town in another state to start a church is awesome. They felt the call and are taking a huge leaf of faith. I know they will be blessed many times over and the ministries will thrive because of them. God blesses us so that we may bless others. This church plant is among a college University with some 60,000 students. There is a need, these are the next generation and the college students so desperately need to hear the gospel. These ISU Students traveling are our future leaders the ones to whom will stand strong among the wordly. There is nothing greater than to see churches expanding and going out into the world sharing the gospel.
