Today we were blessed to be a part the birth of North Point's Warren Campus! Many of you know that 7 months ago, Mike, Sarai and I packed all our earthly belongings into a U-Haul truck and moved from Charlotte, NC to Gurnee, IL. We came because God has given us a desire to see new churches planted and hurting people transformed by His amazing love. And today was the beginning of what not only our family but many other families have been working towards and praying about for more than a year. We had our first official service as the Warren Campus of North Point Church! And I wish I could put into words all the emotions of the morning. We had been able to "practice" for the past three weeks so the set-up went rather smoothly and visitors began arriving around 9:40 a.m. I was busy helping parents get their children signed in and to their classes until well past 10 but I was able to sneek into service around 10:20 to see what was transpiring. The minute I walked into the theater and saw how full it was of faces I did not recognize, I began to cry. Not because I was sad, but because of the tangible realization of how greatly God is working through us and through all those on the Warren Campus team. God is good all the time and all the time God is good.
