So I survived the plane flight and the team has landed in Seattle. This place is pretty cool and, more specifically, the people are cool. In general all of the people are nicer than I would have expected. They really put the Midwest to shame.
The coolest part of the first day was the church we visited. It was a little church called Generations and it was located in a neighborhood where kids aren’t always cared for by their parents… and that’s in addition to the fact that it’s in Seattle, the most unchurched city in America (and they call it that too). These people were just stinkin loving and the preached truth like crazy. They were very supportive on our idea to plant a church here and believed it is needed. They prayed for us many times before the night was over.
Things have been good so far and God is showing Himself so please keep praying for the team and that God gives us wisdom and discernment throughout this week here. Pray for this dark city as well and that the church can be a shining light here.
While I support your right to freedom of religion, I do take offense to you calling my city “dark.” We take pride in our “most un-churched city in America” title and, I have a good feeling, it will remain so for many years to come.
