Starting a new "church" (although it is not a new one, it is just part of the already existing Church) is an exciting, awesome, amazing, difficult, and at times discouraging thing to do. There are so many peaks and valleys that it can boggle the mind.
Imagine that God has given you a picture of your life and has shown you what it will look like in the end. Then, imagine day by day your are doing everything you can to get there and along the way you experience the greatness of the moments that you know are leading to it, but are also bombarded on occasion with the moments and circumstances that make you think you will never get there. Ultimately, that is life and that is the life of "church-planting".
It is in these moments, especially, that all we can do is trust in the "call" that God has given us. In fact, it is a call He has only chosen to share with us and allowed us to be a part in. It is actually His dream and we simply get to be a part. God is faithful to bring about what He has for all of us no matter what the circumstances surrounding us may look like. In life and in church planting, we must never allow circumstances to dictate our call or our faith and trust in the One who has given it. We must simply be faithful and obedient.
