I mean, I was just driving through this farmland and all of a sudden it just kind of rises up out of the, out of the pasture.

And the story was that this church back during COVID, uh, this pastor who's there and has been there six years, uh, you know, they just, they were so locked down cause it's Illinois, you know, they're, they're run by, uh, everybody in Chicago and Springfield.

And so,

These people are just like us.

You know, they're just hunters, good old folks, believers.

Well, they couldn't meet, you know, so they got it.

So somebody had the idea, let's just meet out in this pasture.

And so I think the first Sunday they had about 20 that braved it and came out there.

And six years later, they got about a thousand people out.

that meet there, but it's very, it reminds me a lot of our church, just a lot of grace based, you know, people coming to Christ.

The pastor's great.

I had dinner with him, but I made a declaration on Sunday morning because we did a marriage refresh all day on Saturday and they were great.

I mean, they were into it.

They were listening.

And I mean, cause we did like three hours of material counting the Q and a, and that's hard all day, but they were just, they were troopers.

They did awesome.

And so Sunday I preached.

And so I got up there, and it was packed.

And I said, I'm going to make a declaration today.

I don't normally open this way, but I've been thinking about it.
