hello david. a friend of mine posted a link to your “christ the center” blog, stating “christians read this”. so I did. and it was really amazing. I wanted to encourage you in your pursuit. That article is very much where I am, and I’ve been blessed to become a part of a church that is pursuing that line of thought. We are abandoning the traditions of the american church to pursue the Living God, and it’s exciting. thanks again. may grace and peace be yours in abundance.

David,
I just read a post of yours about Organic Church in Houston, Tx. I am originally from the Dallas area up until recently. I moved to Gainesville, Fl a couple months ago to be part of an Organic community here. I am blown away by what Christ is doing in the body and your story is great. Perhaps we will cross paths someday I’m sure.
I would like to add your blog to my blogroll. msy316.wordpress.com check it out and let me know if you’re ok with that. Also, I’m very new to blogging and if you have any tips or advice, let me know! Thanks.
Your Brother in Christ,
Michael Young

Hello David, I’ve read your testimony translated in french by “ilrevevientbientot”blog and I am very surprised and simultaneously reassured to read your journey because that is what came me a year ago. I had to leave my church because the moment I started to follow Jesus and live for him, there was a break with the others. I was expecting to be entertained but the opposite happened!

Hello Ada, thank you for reading. I hope you are encouraged and strengthened in your walk with Christ.
Blessings, David.
