I’m sitting in a coffee shop
about 35 minutes north of central Austin. I’m surrounded by people
that live here, work here, and call Austin, Texas, home. These people
are the reason I’m here. Two months ago you might have found me sitting
in a coffee shop about 35 minutes east of Phoenix, Arizona. I loved
the people in Phoenix and especially the members of my home church,
Sovereign Grace Church of Gilbert, AZ. But our church felt that God was
calling us to look outside the borders of our community and answer the
New Testament call to plant churches. So over the last few months a
team of 22 people from Arizona have moved away from their familiar
surroundings, their offices, homes, neighbors, and church to come to
this new city. We have also been joined by a number of people here in
the city that have heard of our church plant and are excited about
participating with us to found this new church. Because of God’s work in
all of these team members, Redemption Hill Church is about to begin. By
the grace of God, in just a few months, we’ll have our launch Sunday on
September 15th, at 123. E Old Settlers Road, in Round Rock. We are
praying that people in our area, perhaps even some of the people sitting
in this coffee shop now, will become friends and that some of them will
join the church. We are praying that God will lead us to our new
neighbors that do not know the gospel, but would be willing to hear our
testimony about the Lord Jesus Christ. May the Lord give us boldness,
kindness, and opportunities. It’s good to be here.*Originally posted at www.rhchurch.com
