San Francisco is Growing!
As we continue our survey of the city of San Francisco we’ve been amazed by our neighborhood: the area that we want to plant this new, reproducing church. There are currently 100,000 people living South of Market (SoMa) with less than five churches. What is absolutely astounding is in the next 5 years the neighborhood is expecting to see unprecedented growth adding 5 major high rises that will completely re-draw the skyline of San Francisco. These new developments along with many other residential ventures in SoMa is expected to bring in 300,000 new residents into this part of the city! With less than a dozen churches in this area, there’s a lot of work to be done not only to reach out to the 100,000 but in preparation for the next 300,000! This is why we’re so excited about planting a reproducing church that can have multiple locations throughout this neighborhood and the city! It’s our dream and desire to launch our second location 3 years after launch in preparation for this new growth in the city! God has certainly brought us into the city for such a time as this. Thank you all so much for your prayers and financial support! We couldn’t be doing this without you! 
Settled in and read to rollThe past month has really been a time of settling in for Tracy and myself as we look to get more acquainted with our neighborhood, surroundings, and the city as a whole. We've spent much of our time finding our way around, meeting people from various ministries around the city, and trying to figure out the culture. It's been such a wild ride and I'm not really sure we could feel any more at home than we already do!
We would love to share with you some pictures of the city that we've been taking with some stories of what's going on. Here is a link for you to follow our picture blog: Our Picture Blog. We upload from time to time, so keep checking back for new pictures and stories!

God has been extremely faithful to us in taking care of us in such a quick time. Already Tracy is settled in to her new job and we have found a church here in town that is interested in partnering with us to launch this new church. Thank you so much for your prayers and your notes of encouragement that you continually send our way. It's more than amazing to hear from you, to be encouraged by you, and to have you continually praying for us! It means more than you know.
