it’s good to be with you and uh if you haven’t met me, I’m derek rim, p one of the things that we’ve been believing for is for the gospel to continue to go out and to send out church planters and and God has been leading me in that direction and uh we’re gonna be, I’m gonna share a little bit about my heart and what, what guys doing um in in a second charlie is gonna be coming up here and talking about going, being about jesus’s mission uh and I’m excited to be a part of that and for you guys to uh to be a part of that as well and and that’s one of the things I wanted to say is just thank you, thank you too to this, this body, this people that has been a blessing to myself to uh bringing in our church Restoration City, my family, it’s been a huge blessing being a part of this community, serving with you all, getting to know you all and, and I’m sad too to be moving on, but you know, excited to be going and what God is calling us to. So one of the things I want to share uh is Matthew 13 44 so God is calling us to go to highland Kansas. Uh it’s kinda in between here and Kansas city, it’s a town of 1000 people. Uh we’re going to plant a church there and and see what God is gonna do, making disciples, we’re going to talk about, but Matthew 13 44 says this says the kingdom of Heaven, it’s like treasure hidden in the field, which a man found and covered up and then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. Now that verse that reality, that idea here is what God really did in my life. When I was 19 there was a church and Lawrence Kansas uh college ministry as a part of that church dan was a part of that dan. And Lori was one of the first people I met when I was a student there got connected and they were there seeking to share the gospel of the Kingdom of God, sharing christ this treasure with others. And I was uh I’m grateful to be a recipient of that. Uh God showed me and I was able to find the treasure of christ and his kingdom and I went in my joy and sold everything and they’ve been serving him growing in him and he led me to come to Lincoln to help plan a church and now going to highland to do the same thing to help people find the treasure of christ and his kingdom. And and there’s nothing better, nothing more worth doing giving their lives to helping people find christ and to find his kingdom. So that’s really the heart of what we’re doing. That’s the heart of, of what God has called us to and with that I want to invite charlie Robinson to come up and and share with us. So my name is charlie and I’ve been in sabbath to Kansas for a little bit more than 28 years. Um I am old, right. The gray hair reflects, its just had my seventh grandchild. Little girl named Norah. Right. And so uh yeah, she’s a little cutie. And uh and so we’re gonna be talking about the mission um sabbath and Kansas is a small town, not quite as small as highland where Derek’s going and you know, people might look at at Northridge Church and and this is actually our sixth campus uh church that that we’re gonna have um so we’ve planted five times or this is the fifth time, technically it sounds romantic, but it’s not, you’re going to need to pray for Derek because You know, there’s no starbucks within 45 minutes, there just isn’t right. There’s not even a coffee shop in, in, in in highland. Right, So he’s got to go all the way to Hiawatha to get a cure ick thing or whatever, you know at Casey’s. And so uh it’s gonna be hard, uh there’s there’s there’s no grocery store there, You know, they’re gonna have to travel 20 miles to the nearest grocery store. It’s it’s not gonna be glamorous for him. And there’s there’s, it’s, it’s just a broken down little town. And yet there are many people, there’s not really a good solid bible, believing mis…
