When I think about what does the world need to know about Wyoming, you can drive an hour any direction of where we are and there's not another neighborhood. You're not going to pass a gas station, you're not going to pass a subdivision. You're not going to pass a Walmart, you're not going to pass anything. And the saddest reality of Wyoming is you can be born, live and die in Wyoming and never have a church share the gospel with you in your hometown. Because there's 203 places to live and over 60 of those places don't have a Church of any kind. Medicine Bow really is typical of so many of the 203 towns in Wyoming. Medicine Bow is a town of 200 people and the largest religious affiliation is none. So when we get asked, why are we planting new churches, there's so many already, well, in Wyoming. Answer is easy, there's a lot of places without them. My family and I planted a church in bar none Wyoming and over the last two years we've seen 118% growth but we are just so spread out. We have got to work together to to start churches and towns that have never had a church in than ever. And so our heart and what we've see God priming and prepping us to do is to raise up men, train them with an apprenticeship here, and then send them out to be a part of our circuit preaching team. Because when we think about where are the church planters gonna come from, we, we've had to come to the reality that they're coming from our congregation and we've got to start from Ground Zero and raise them up and send them out. God has not forgotten about these small towns, and so we plant churches because they need the gospel too, and this is the only way that we're ever going to get it to them.
