No Joke

Today has been bittersweet to us. We announced at our church the following:

For several years God has been shaping us to follow a call that I can no longer deny or resist. In Jeremiah 20:9, Jeremiah says, “There is a fire in my bones and I grow weary of holding it in.” Throughout the past few years God has refined our call by showing us that He has called us to plant a church in Denver, CO. In order to be prepared to plant this church, we have accepted a residency with Frontline Church Planting Group in Colorado Springs, CO that is part of Vanguard Church, a 15-year-old church that desires to plant churches that plant churches.

We will remain at Fairhaven until the fall of 2012 in full capacity, but will use the coming months to build prayer support, raise support, gather church partnerships and prepare for the transition to Colorado.

Please know that our family loves the people of Fairhaven all very dearly and pray that God will continue to do great things at this place called Fairhaven.
