The past few weeks have been defining days for Crosswinds. We have begun to establish and make decisions that will move us forward in the days ahead. Just last week we believe God gave us some very clear direction to plant Crosswinds. We will be launching the church in Leland, NC which is just over the bridge from the downtown area of Wilmington. The Leland area is an extremely fast growing area where 27 people everyday are moving into this area. There is approximately 20,000 people and growing everyday. Just near our target location there are 2 neighborhoods with 2000 homes and one new development that will eventually have around 5000 homes and this is just 3 of the many developments within about a 3-5 mile radius of our target location. Location on the other hand is a matter of prayer. There is about a 1-2 mile stretch that is an extremely fast growing area on Highway 17 that runs through Leland that we would like to plant the church. Our only road block at this point is that all the space is store front retail space that is not cheap. Please pray for the owner and managers of these spaces that the Lord will begin to work in their hearts if that is where he wants us to be located.
Some other defining decisions where our target launch date. We are shooting for February 22, 2009 to launch our first official service in Leland. Which means there is a lot of work to be done between now and then.
These along with establishing out Purpose statement, and defining our core values made the past few weeks defining days for Crosswinds.
Please continue to pray as we move forward with God's Vision for Crosswinds.
