I love being on the frontlines, where the growth is. According to this Hays Free Press article, Hays County is now the 20th fastest growing county in the nation! Check out this excerpt:
The
newest data estimates that an additional 43,906 people clambered on
down to Hays County between April 1, 2000 and July 1, 2007.The
county’s population numbered just 97,574 at the 2000 census, but the
most recent estimates from last July show that the population had
exceeded 141,000, for a 45 percent growth rate.About half of that growth occurred in the city of Kyle, where the population was 5,314 at the 2000 census and is now estimated to be in excess of 25,000.
God always has perfect timing, and The Connection Church is riding the wave of that growth to see 1000s of lives changed. We are to go into all the world, and God is now bringing the world to us. Being in the right place at the right time is great, but having the right heart to reach people for Christ at the right time and place is even better.
