Steve and Tracy Wulf

In the rush of deadlines and Christmas events, I have still not written about my friend Steve Wulf. Steve and Tracy have planted Connection Point church in Tampa in September. They are dong quite well. Steve is full of vision, passion, and excellence. I got to meet Tracy's Dad, who is also part of the team, the worship leader, and another leader or two.

I believe Steve and Tracy are excellent leaders and will go far. They have a great plan and are executing it very well. Not only will they plant this church, but many more churches will come out of this one as well.

These days 60 people gather weekly and being assimilated into a powerful force for God in the Citrus Park area of Tampa. Discipleship is happening, and the group is growing steadily. Outreach plans and development ideas are flowing.

Because this church exists, precious individuals will live for eternity in Heaven. Marriages will become storybook love lives, and serious illnesses will be healed, and world changing children will be raised. I am deeply honored to have friends like Steve and Tracy, and believe that God will use them incredibly to do great things.

Freedom Valley got to play a very small role in this new church's planting. We are the sponsoring church, have given a few dollars, and have guarateed their financial responsbility to ARC. I am chairman of the board. I pray for them often, and we hope to be able to give more finances in the near future. These items don't seem like much but it is an honor to have ANY role in something this powerful.

God has a great plan, and I am always amazed that He allows me to be part of it.  Life giving churches being planted are one of the great thrills of my life, and certainly the great hope for America.
