Momentum: The impetus and driving force gained by the development of a process or a course of events.

Since Fuse*'s inception @ NewSpring Church in 2002 we have been the benefactors of incredible God-given momentum.

When i first saw and then reflected upon these numbers a few days ago  i was overwhelmed with thankfulness.  I was reminded of the Victory of Christ's Cross & Empty Tomb.   I thought about the vision of NewSpring Church that God planted in the heart of Perry Noble and how grateful i am for his obedience.  I considered the sacrifice of all the volunteers that have made Fuse* possible every single week.  I thought about all the parents that have encouraged, served, and/or carpooled thousands of times to leverage the next generation.  Then i thought about the future...

I was reminded of Andy Stanley's "Principle of the Path"  --  He states: "Direction not intention will determine your destination." I believe this statement.  I believe that our momentum speaks toward our direction.  I know that God's Kingdom is numerically as small today as it will ever be.  His Church is unstoppable.  Likewise, i believe that Fuse* & NewSpring Church are as small today as they ever will be (I am believing the same for your church too, if you aren't a NewSpringer). I know that I am so unworthy, yet I find myself overjoyed to play my part.  Our God is so good.
