We are thankful...

What a year!

As we look back on this year of 2008 we see many reasons to be thankful:  for protection in the midst of storm, for life and family and friends, for purpose and love and provision, for peace that passes understanding and hope and joy, for fun, wisdom, dreams, and for YOU.  Most of all, because there is One who made possible everything else ... Jesus Christ, the hope of the city!
 

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.  (Isa 9,6)


Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

A Vision Community.

Todd and Denise McCombs are long-time followers of Jesus and deeply involved in Faithwalking.  Denise has a seminary degree and both she and Todd have had significant leadership positions in congregations and ministries over their adult lifetime.  Todd has completed all of the Faithwalking curriculum and is in an ongoing coaching relationship with one of the Faithwalking coaches.  Denise is currently completing the Faithwalking seminar series.  Recently, we caught up with the McCombs.  They live in Missouri City and are working together on a vision community that is serving the poorest of the poor in Fort Bend County.

A vision community is a small group of people who are on mission together, living transparent lives of love for each other and service to the world.  The primary measure of success for Faithwalking is the establishment of functioning vision communities that are intentionally advancing the Kingdom of God in the home, neighborhood, and workplace.  What follows is our interview with Todd and Denise about their Faithwalking experience. ...
