- So far, I haven't yet, just looking to. My wife and I are part of an organic church setting (within the home, open-participatory, every-member functioning), but wherever the Lord leads. Right now, my passion is to see this city come to a revelation of Jesus Christ that will change their lives forever (the real meaning of revival).
