I remember well my first weeks of moving to Mt. Sterling KY.   It was the summer of July 2003.  I had graduated from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, KY.  My wife was teaching at Farnsley Middle School and I was teaching a first grade class at Sanders Elementary. 

The Lord had called us to plant a church in Mt. Sterling in His name for His purpose.  We were excited.  This was going to be several “firsts” in our marriage.  My wife and I bought our first home, were expecting the birth of our first child, while in the process of birthing a new church.
