Tonight we had our first core gathering of a small mustard seed called Jacob's Well. It was great to eat, fellowship and dream together with my new family. We are beginning a journey together to live for the glory of God, the good of our cities and extend hope through the gospel of Jesus Christ in central New Jersey. I am so thankful for each person involved. Two guys are not pictured as one of them had a pretty bad allergic reaction this afternoon and had to be driven home.

It is a joy and privilege to lead this community forward serving them and building our team. Pray I would lead them willingly with a passionate servants heart...with wisdom and skill with faith and dependence on God.

Please keep this crew in mind - that God would expand the family, add to our number as we work together to see a community planted - a gospel centered, thoughtfully engaged, family who seeks mercy and justice while finding joy through generosity and mission.
