On Tuesday, I had the privilege of being with the executive leadership team of the South Texas District along with Pastor David Plank as they approved three new church planting teams.

Here’s a picture of me with the planters and Brother Joe Granbury (he’s the distinguished guy on the far left), Pastor David Plank (the South Texas District Church Planting Director and pastor of First Assembly of God, New Caney, TX.  You’ll find him on the far right of the picture). The planters (from left to right are Ryan and LeAnn Jones,  preparing to plant in New Waverly, Texas; Samuel and Nkechi Ukomadu originally from Nigeria, who are preparing to formally launch Firebrand Assembly in Houston ;and Joseph Garza, whose wife Ellenoa, would have been with him but she was imminently pregnant with their fourth child. Number Four arrived early the next morning after Joseph got home from this meeting! The Garza’s will be planting New Generation Fellowship in urban San Antonio.

The District Executive Presbytery team unanimously approved these planters to go build bridges to lost people! Congratulations planters and thank you South Texas District for opening doors for these new planters.
