It has been finalized – I will be coming on staff at Community of Hope as a Church Planting Intern as of November 1.
I am very excited. This is the opportunity I have been praying for, that God would give me a chance to experience full-time ministry before we actually leave to plant. I had been wondering how God would provide for me the necessary experience to manage what we plan to do – the door was opened with the arrival of the Twins. It took me 2 months to realize that the door was open (twins are rather diverting). Then, we had to look at the financial realities of whether we could do it – it is still going to be very tight, but we believe in fath that God will provide what we need to complete home repairs and prepare to move to Medicine Hat.
The remainder of October will be challenging with many distractions. I am starting to prepare my outreach ministry this month. Our community group needs to sit down and figure out a covenant. Cheryl is helping me to begin a program of memorization for Licensure. We have our church planting assessment at the end of the month. I have to prepare a mini-sermon that is supposed ot introduce the new church plant for that assessment process. And I need to finish well at work. Please pray for all these things.
