I often wonder if attendance will be up or down in our new church plant, and
if I will be satisfied or disappointed (a selfish swing of emotions that still
plagues me from time to time). Constantly, I remind myself that missions is

not about going to church, it’s about becoming the church.

Our responsibility is to expose people to the Gospel of Jesus; His Spirit
draws them into His Body as His Bride. Of course, church participation is
important for this is where hearts grow and minds mature, yet church

attendance is to be the result of something far greater.
