Every Person of Faith deserves a Great Faith Adventure
Last night we had our first Soul City Launch Party in the Beautiful City of Chicago. We met at the fabulous WIT Hotel on State and Lake, which in and of it self is a God Story! We walked into the evening with so many hopes and so many ridiculous God sized dreams. We had butterflies in our stomach – the kind you get when you are about to do something that will drum up feelings of wondering if you are completely crazy! I jokingly said this morning – I think I have a Soul City Hangover. I woke up with an overflowing heart filled with joy and hope over what God is doing and how he is stirring in this city. We gathered together with about 90 friends to share the story of Soul City Church and invite them to join the story.
We laughed, told stories with old and new friends, we shared the vision of Soul City Church, we worshiped and prayed for God to do even greater things than we could imagine.
I am invigorated – because more than ever in my life I can with deep conviction and confidence say – “I am living the life I was intended to live.” I don’t think there is a human being on the planet that doesn’t want to be a part of something significant and something bigger than themselves. I believe we are designed for adventure because life with Jesus is just that “ADVENTURE” and yet so many of us have tucked ourselves into our safe and secure spiritual journeys and we have forgotten what it feels like to live on the edge of following God. We believe that every person of faith deserves a great faith adventure – and that is what the journey of Soul City Church has been for us and we are praying that for many it will become the same journey.
We will be posting up some more pictures from the night over the next few days – but to those of you that are on this great faith adventure with us – Thank You – Thank You – Thank You! We pray that your will BE all of who God created you to be and that your soul will be radically transformed by the love of Jesus!

Glad the day has arrived for your first meeting. My friends in Maine had their first meeting for their church yesterday and they seem to have the same excitement that you have presented here. Great to hear about what is going on and how God is using leaders to spread the gospel. Wish I could attend the church and be apart of the movement, but I will continue to support with prayer, and when I get a job maybe some monies.
