<div></div>
<div>There are always many reasons why we cannot get started just yet. Things are not planned well. We do not have mature leaders. It will cost us money and time. Etc. And yet God&#8217;s church continues to grow. Our strategy is to cut the rope that secures our boat to the shore and to let God&#8217;s wind and currents direct us.</div>
<div></div>
<div>One of our key leaders has many friends in Tres Poderes. He lived there for awhile. City officials were giving away lots of land. We acquired two lots for  our church. Some guys went out and built a fence around the property and drove a stake into the ground with our name on it.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Tres Poderes is three hours from Marabá, on the road to Quatro Bocas. We drove out there this week. What is God&#8217;s plan for this church? We are not sure yet.</div>
