An Introduction
Written by Sean Morgan
I’m supposed to know my audience before beginning—which means I need to know you. Probably I do know you, but how would I know while I’m writing this and quite frankly anyone can log on and read…Hmm.
If you’re looking for insight into our process of land acquisition and development, I’ll do my best to satisfy your interest by providing highlights of what we did that was successful, what wasn’t and of course what our future planning entails. If nothing else, this blog will be encouraging for those of you who are afraid to fail. That used to be me, never taking a step without high assurance it would lead to success and gingerly approaching new territory so as establish a pristine record. Now I see things different, I figure anything worth doing right is worth doing wrong—at least initially. We’ve been on a 7 year journey to acquire property and literally have had doors slammed in our face, been deceived by land owners desiring to use us to bid up a competitive offers, you name it, we’ve seen it. In many ways it is quite a humbling process. Ultimately I know that if the Lord is in it we’ll succeed, if not we’ll get back on our knees seeking direction and vision, and then trod forward.
I’ll eventually take some time to go back through the highlights of the land acquisition journey we’ve been on, at least for the last two years. For now though I want to get started with keeping you all up to date on the current development status and planning.
Our current focus is on the wastewater planning for the site. We had some great news today regarding the soil sampling on the site. We had been under the impression that the soils contained a lot of clay. For a leach field this means dedicating extra property to allow for the water to percolate out into the soil. For our development this means less land available for ministry and more land for leaching. However, good news came during soil testing. We dug several 10 foot deep holes around the property; experts came in and analyzed the soils. What they found were some of the best percolating soils for leach fields and that means we will use less land for leaching and have more of it available as ministry space! What a great blessing this news is.

Keep it going. Can we use the percolating soils to make coffee?
