Bush and his wife, Hannah, are embracing both the excitement and uncertainty of starting from the ground up. Drawn by the opportunity to share the gospel in a rapidly growing community with no Lutheran church presence, Bush is eager to build relationships and serve families with Christ\u2019s message.
