In 2006, when Jennifer and I moved to Lafayette, we instinctively knew that to raise a family here, our first order of business was to get a home.
So we bought some dirt, got a loan, and hired a builder. It was expensive (it still is), it was unnerving, and it was exciting, but none of that mattered as long as we were accomplishing our two main goals:
- We wanted the kind of stability and comfort that would allow us to build a loving family environment.
- We also wanted a place through which we could bless other people with the warmth and love of Christian hospitality.
Now, here we are nine years later, and it’s time for us to stop ignoring the fact that our church family also needs a home… and we certainly can’t ignore the fact that there are thousands of people in our town who need a spiritual home too.
