Missions Monday: Thurman Family Arrives in Fort Collins, CO

Buck Run church planters Zack and Jennifer Thurman and their sons, John Owen and James, have moved to Fort Collins, Colorado to officially begin the work of planting Overland Church. A team from Buck Run joined the Thurman family on the 18 hour drive to their new home. The team spent a week unloading the 26′ Penske, remodeling the upstairs of their new home, and moving the Thurmans into their new rooms.

The Thurman’s move is a significant milestone in Buck Run’s mission of planting Overland Church in Fort Collins. For many months there has been much praying, training, and fundraising, but now the first family from Buck Run is on the ground in Colorado. Zack and Jennifer will continue to settle into their new home and prepare it to be a hub for the activities of the new church plant. Zack will begin North American Mission Board Church Planter training in August with a handful of other Colorado church planters. The friendly nature of the people of Fort Collins has already led to Zack and Jennifer meeting dozens of folks from their neighborhood.
