“Human beings will be happier—not when they cure cancer or get to Mars or eliminate racial prejudice or flush Lake Erie—but when they find ways to inhabit primitive communities again. That’s my utopia”. Kurt Vonnegut

We concur with the above statement. It makes us want to live more of life with more people. It keeps us honest. It helps drag ourselves out of bed each morning. It gives us hope that what God intended can actually take place; for we know the author of happy we have met the great community renovator who incidentally has also flushed a couple of bodies of water Himself. He lives within us. We have seen Him in our neighbourhood. He is looking to redeem everything on this ball of a planet. He is after hearts. He wants treasures with us.

We are writing to you with the hopes that you will go with us and begin a new community. We do not need you behind us as you can leave at any time and we really won’t notice you gone! Ahead of us is a catch up mandate. We are getting older and do not feel like running when not being chased. With is the new movement.
Together.

Over the past 10 years we have been involved with Next Church. It was in the summer of 1996 that we answered a collect call from God and were asked to plant a church. With fits and starts and with the prayers, financial and committed support of countless others, we did so. God’s grace is relentless. His mercy new everyday and with each turn we took were filled with exciting possibility.

It has been decided to make this move again. We have called this a mission to ours. A shuttle team of around 24 people from Next Church will go with a blessing to begin new family, meet real needs and have our needs met. We plan to prepare ourselves for this new with movement in the summer of 2006. We are personally asking you to go with us.
So what will that look like?
A good question indeed.
With movements need supportive prayer. With movements need cash. With movements need encouraging words from time to time. With movements need sleeves rolled up and hands that are not afraid to get dirty. (Metaphorically speaking and literally speaking) as we plan to renovate a building as well as a neighbourhood. With may actually be looking for you to join us! Stranger things have happened.
So will you come with?

You can send prayers, cash, support and cares and concerns to Rustle Street Church with the tag line. I am with you. We thank God for you this day as the stamp is still being affixed to this letter. More will follow. With much love the mission to ours church planting team.
