This past Sunday night, I spoke at Gethsemane Church of Christ in Mechanicsville, VA. They have agreed to financially support the Area 10 Project. It really was a great time to get out there and cast vision again for what we are doing. Several people came up to me afterwards that were pretty pumped about what we were doing. When I tell people that the city of Richmond has no Christian Churches that seems to resonate with people.
I talked about how Jonathan took a risk in attacking the Phillistines in I Samuel. (Thanks, Erwin, Carl, and God for the inspiration) I talked about how we need to risks in our faith and step out and do something great.
Starting a church is the riskiest thing I could think of. As we used to say at Forefront, it's like opening up a hot dog stand for PETA employees.

I don't understand the "no Christian churches" comment. I'd like to understand how you are defining the word "Christian". In my opinion, there are several Christian, biblically based churches in the City of Richmond. Commonwealth Chapel comes to mind.
Good point- By Christian I mean in this context Christian Church/Church of Christ denomination. Many people from that background understand what I mean, but I realize that is confusing for some outside of that denomination. I don't mean there are no Christian biblically based churches. I realize there are some of those in the city.
Also for the record, I'm friends with Rob Rhoden of ComChap and love what they are doing...
