Good Shepherd Church Plant

Great People to Share With

Speaking at Good Shepherd Church on Sunday was really fun! Good Shepherd is a church plant started by Tom Hamilton just outside of Boise, Idaho. It was super awesome to drive up to the building where they meet on Sunday mornings and realize it was a Boys and Girls Club!

My new church, Anchor Church, meets at the Boys and Girls Club here in Seattle, and Good Shepherd shares the same vision as Anchor – to impact their community with the Gospel starting with the people right in front of them: the staff and students at the Boys and Girls Club.

There are a couple stories that happened this weekend that I’d like to share:

The first is that I met a lady who was recently and unexpectedly widowed, and she decided to sponsor three widows through Vision Nationals which is a huge blessing for us and for her.

Also, the pastor and his wife reimbursed Vision Nationals – out of pocket – the price of my plane ticket out to Boise. This was one of the most generous acts I’ve experienced in a long time. As church planters, they have no financial security, but rely on God to supply their needs on a pretty much monthly basis. And yet, they give away money like it doesn’t belong to them! Because they live out the truth that it really doesn’t. It’s God’s money. And He is a good provider. What an example!

Another action shot!
