I thought what better day then Martin Luther King Jr. Day to share one of my biggest dreams and goals I have for my life. It was King who once said, "I have a dream," and he worked hard to see his dream become a reality. He even gave up his life to see his dream come to life.
It was during my second semester of college when an upperclassmen approached me and told me that I have the right personality type and persona to be a church planter, which at the time I didn't even know what that meant. He gave me a test, I passed, I guess, and we began talking about church planting. I declared my major to Bachelor of Christian Ministry with an emphasis in Church Planting and signed up for my first class, and I have been hooked ever since.
I have had opportunities to work with church planters in Africa and New York City and northwest Arkansas, and each time my heart continues to pound in my chest that this is what God is calling me too. I see the need and the importance of starting new churches. Statistically, new churches reach more for Christ then existing ones, and I want to be a part of reaching people for Jesus. With that said, I feel God is calling me to work in church planting. No I don't have the logistics figured out and I have no time frame I'm working with. God has given me this dream and I can only hope that someday I can accomplish it.
What's your dream? Has God laid something in your heart so heavy you are about to bust at the seams of not having yet accomplished it?
