During a family vacation in the summer of 2009 Tiffany and I went to visit a friend who planted a church in northern Wisconsin. During a message that had nothing to do with church planting, the missionary made parenthetical comment about how there were no good Baptist churches in his home town of Kewaunee, WI. At that moment, I felt an unmistakeable push from the Lord.
After church, on the way back from church that day, Tiffany and I talked as we drove. Not wanting to be driven solely by an experience or feeling, we began to pray about the possiblility that God would have us plant a Baptist Church in Kewaunee.
