I join Tom in sharing my enthusiasm for this New Campus in the Reading Area! I am excited for lots of reasons but the primary one is that we have seen God's hand in all of this....from the very beginning. As we go along we will enjoy sharing some of these "God Moments" with you but for right now, suffice it to say that our confidence is very high in moving forward. For 2 years now, God has been guiding each step and opening each door towards launching a New Campus in the Reading Area. Some of the doors that He has opened have surprised us.....ones that we did not plan or expect. But each door has been clearly opened by Him. Tom and I have been keeping a list of these open doors...we are calling them "miracles" and the list is growing!

Even though we are confident He has led us to this point, there are many unknowns ahead and plenty of room for Him to continue to work...and plenty of room for us to be dependent on Him.

One Christian Leader that I admire once said, "Attempt things so great for God that if He is not in them, they are doomed to fail!" I believe this New Campus opportunity is just that kind of opportunity....an opportunity that God has clearly led us to but yet so clearly needs Him to bring it about. With that sense of confidence and dependency, we press forward with Him by our side!

Looking forward to the Journey with you and Him,

Richard
