Short Poppies - New Beginnings, #1

New Zealand sounds more like a tourist destination than a mission field, but when Levi is thrust into a short term ministry there, things aren't as easy as he expected. As the youth pastor of Victory Road Church, Levi is pumped about the growth he sees-until he gets fired. Suddenly he is pushed into six weeks of missions work in New Zealand. Equipped with 147 sermons and 793 games, he feels ready for anything.  Even then, he finds working in a small mission church isn't as easy as he thought.
MacKenzie is almost engaged to Mike, so why does a six-week mission trip draw her in a different direction? When a medical emergency changes the dynamics, Kenzie is forced to work under Levi while he tries to force big church ideas on a small mission church. How much damage could they do in six weeks? They are about to find out when their safety net vanishes.
