Encouragement

As I am doing this church planting thing I am discovering that I need all the encouragement I can get. A couple of weeks ago a new friend came into my life. He showed up at my house with the Freedom crew who crashed at my pad for Catalyst. We had some good conversations while he was here and it was great to meet him. He is a church planter who is planting a church in North Carolina. His name is Austin Porter. God is doing big things in his life and is going to use him to do the extraordinary. The other day he called and spoke words of strong encouragement into my life. I could not be more thankful to God for him. I am grateful God allowed our paths to intersect, and I'm grateful for what God is going to do through this young man who is passionate about seeing the name of Jesus made famous.
