Just like the Perseverance Rover, our transformation into the great church we will become will take time (the rover was launched from earth in July 2020). There will be times of silence where we won't know what exactly is going on, or if what we've done and planned is working out (there was a 7 minute gap when the rover was entering Mars' atmosphere where, because of the distance between Mars and Earth, NASA didn't know if the rover was deploying correctly and couldn't communicate with it). Just like the rover is allowing us to learn more about Mars and our solar system, I believe God is teaching us about what it truly means to be a disciple of Christ, and is growing our faith and knowledge of Him. I'm excited about what the rover will teach us about the planets of the solar system, but I'm so much more excited to see our church grow and become a vessel to spread the Good News! 😃”
