As church-planters, we are trying to build community. This involves so much more than attending a service where you “like the preaching”, or you “like the worship”. It involves playing together, working out differences, loving God by loving one another. It is challenging, and it takes time.

This is the beauty of missionary life. We live among people, and our lives are the message. This is sometimes scary, and we would rather just hide, but we take courage, and ask God to let Himself somehow shine through our brokenness.
