Challenges & Prayer Requests
Family Transition
Relocating a family of four is never easy, especially when we’ve only ever known one place to be home. Moving from small-town Oklahoma to NYC only heightens that challenge.
Isolation and community
While we are excited to join a new church family, we are leaving a church we’ve loved for 10 years and six family households that currently live within a mile of our home.
Cost of living
The cost of living is about 3x higher than what we currently know. A modest 2–3 bedroom, 1,000 sq. ft. apartment will likely cost $5,000–$6,000 per month in rent.
Lack of salary
Because the church is a young plant in one of the world’s most expensive cities, I will need to raise my salary through Christian individuals and churches for the foreseeable future.
*We are not eligible to receive NAMB funding due to our church not being a brand new church plant.
