When Cheryl and Randy's third child graduated from high school, they realized they were called to Christian ministry. They and twelve-year old Jessica moved from the Mississippi Gulf Coast to central Texas. They went with no money, no demographic facts, and no church plant training. For the next two years they served God and followed His will only. In response, the Holy Spirit amazed them with His guidance and provision of their ministry."Except the Lord Build the House..." gives practical guidance and a layperson's perspective to those called to start a church.Cheryl and Randy pray that this little book will inspire and encourage as you do the Lord's work to fulfill your purpose in the Kingdom of God here on earth.May God Bless you as He builds the House
