Frantic Pace

The last few days have been full. I had the opportunity to visit Alabama, spend time with family and friends, meet with partners and talk with potential partners. On top of that, I preached three times in different churches. I am grateful for the support provided by First Baptist Boaz, Ridgeview Baptist and Fairhaven Baptist. Without these churches and the support of many individuals our time with Frontline Church Planting Center would not have been possible.

Thank you to those who gave of their homes, time, and food during our travels. You were a blessing to our family and may Hod bless you for your generosity and hospitality.

If you are interested in supporting us financially, please visit the financial support page on this blog about the ways to give.

Our time in Alabama has been fruitful and full but it reminds us of the calling God has placed on us for Denver and the Lowry neighborhood and the need for laborers in His harvest. It is my prayer that many were stirred up to love and good deeds from our time in Alabama.

Ending and Beginning Again

This past week has been a week of endings and new beginnings. Sunday August 12th was our last day at Fairhaven Baptist, our church home for over eight years. On the 13th we had a fundraising dinner in Huntsville with friends and family; then we had another fundraising dinner in Demopolis on the 16th. It was truly a blessing to see friends and family and share our call and vision. Our time in Demopolis has ended and will be missed and our new journey has begun.

Then our family piled into our vehicles and tackled the journey to Colorado Springs. Who knew that Texas and New Mexico were so desolate? We arrived 2 days ahead of our moving truck and camped out inside. Finally, our stuff arrived and Amanda and I have been unpacking like mad. Only a few things were damaged or broken and now we have what seems to be a home, with a few things left to unpack. Tonight we attended Vanguard (on a Saturday night) and Frontline Church Planting has already put information about its new residents on their website. We look forward to a new beginning in Colorado.
