Scariest Year of My Life

As I sit here at this moment, I realize that we have embarked on the scariest adventure of our lives. This year holds many huge unanswered questions...how, when, who etc. but the one thing that is totally clear is the "why?" Everyday I see so many people who are struggling with some major issue in life. I realize that "hope" seems to be fading from their lives like a leaky faucet... drip by drip. Everyday it seems to leak just a little more, until one day they wake up empty. I remember times in my life experiencing the same thing...that is the "why" behind Relevant Church. God has called us to reach out and impact a community in which 85 percent of people do not attend church. I notice everyday how many people have a misconception of who God is, and unfortunately churches and "christians" have done more harm than good. I am overwhelmed at the number of people who simply hate "church" as defined by "American" standards...especially in the south. We have a tough job ahead and are praying daily for God to provide all that we need to make it happen. We are now approximately 10 months from the launch day of Relevant Church and are moving at light speed. We anticipate 200-300 people on opening our Sunday. If you are interested and have a heart for people and the south Atlanta community, would you join us on this "scary" adventure. Be a part of the team that launches a church that seeks to transform it's community one life at a time. I read a quote that changed my life in 2009..."the fear of missing out has to be greater than the fear of messing up."
