Last night my wife and I had dinner with a couple with whom the Lord has given us a special relationship. They have been seeking the Lord’s direction for their lives and saying “Yes Lord” as He asks them for greater steps of faith. After much prayer and searching they sense God calling them to join us in this journey to Simplicity.

This man’s heart was the prototype the Lord impressed upon me when He unfurled the structure of Simplicity. What a thrill it is for me to see God call this specific individual to fill that gap. The Lord impressed upon me the new beginning last night as we stood in the parking lot of a local restaurant discussing the excitement of the journey the Lord has put before us. I will always be able to look back to last night and say…”It officially began over dinner in a restaurant….” We truly are mustard seeds in the hand of Almighty God.

On the boring side of life, I have also been putting together constitution and bylaw documents for the Simplicity Network. I was very blessed today to find governing documents from another catalytic church planting ministry, so I am now in the process of adapting them to our particular ministry calling. We did get the donor letters completed and ready to mail, so those will go out tomorrow.
