With all due respect Texas isn't exactly the West as we westerners here on the left coast would proclaim.Exciting to hear about the new church plants but to picture another new church planted in Alabama where we have hundreds & hundreds of churches already is not what I call visioneering. But who am I ...right?I'm just a pastor in the central valley of California where my church is on a district where our entire 3 churches in 2 counties cover 2,941 sq. miles. The 10 closest towns around me that are within 20 minutes or less of each other & they make up a population base of over 700,000 people ...talk about a great need. Very excited about the state of Washington church planters & I hope they do exceptionally well.May the day come before my days are over where we see the CoG make a concerted effort to send teams of church planters to California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Nevada & Arizona. May we be overwhelmed with dynamic talent & excited disciples who are more interested in a missional calling & less attracted in pleasing the leaders of their denomination.. Lol at anyone saying Texas isn't the West.OP posed the question West of the Mississippi... Texas qualifies across the board. State pride aside- I'm with you Dean. We need to plant churches in AZ, CA, CO, ID, KS, MT, ND, NE, NV, OK, OR, SD, UT, WA, and WY. Let's include AL and HI Proverbs 3:5-6; John 13:34-35; Acts 1:8
