The countdown begins

First of apologies for the lack of updates recently.

I am pleased to tell you that things are continuing to take shape and develop with the plans to plant CityChurch. There is now a core group of 20+ adults committed to the plant and there is plenty of room for more. Houses are being put up for sale and job searches have begun. We may still be 12 months away from an official launch but it is getting very real.

In all of this the mission remains central. To see the Kingdom of God come on earth as it is in heaven. In the planning for CityChurch I am stirred by the word 'Go'. Jesus said 'Go' in the great commission but modelled it through his whole ministry and the discipleship he put into others. He sent out the 12, then the 72. For us going to Leicester is just the start of the going. When we get there we will not be building a big temple to hide in, rather we will continue to take the good news to the city. When we have gone, the going really begins!
