The Sunset

If I were to ask you to close your eyes and picture a sunset, you would probably picture a beautiful sunset full of all sorts of colors setting over the ocean or the mountains or whatever that place is that you see in your mind’s eye.

The truth is everybody has a different picture of a sunset. Mine is forever etched in my thoughts. I was 12 years old and at my grandparent’s house one summer. She lives on a farm in central Oklahoma. I was bored one night (not a lot to do for a 12 year old city boy) and I ran out the back door of that old farm house and began to look across the pasture at what was my first ever sunset (that I actually remember). It was the most beautiful thing my 12 year old little eyes had seen. The different colors of yellows, oranges, and reds seemed to reach all the way across the sky. If I were a painter, I could still paint a picture of it today. The colors, the way it settled over the horizon, the quietness in the air, was truly breathtaking.

Well, much like the Sunset we all have in our hearts, God has placed in our heart a picture of a sunset of what YOURplaceCHURCH is supposed to look like. I can see it just as vividly as that sunset over my grandma's farm. The only thing is, I don't have any paint brushes to paint what I see. Those are in the hands of the awesome men and women who have chosen to give their next few months to help launch YPC big! They are the ones God has called alongside us to help creatively reach people and introduce them to a passionate and REAL relationship with Jesus Christ.

Ask yourself: are you supposed to be a part of our sunset? We think so, and you are holding the brush to help us paint it just exactly has God has shown us.

Come find your place

God Bless
