After Much Prayer...

Well, after much prayer, I feel led to pursue the senior pastor position. The search team would like for us to come up on the weekend of November 2nd. I have accepted, and will be preaching in view of a call.

Can you say, Yeah God!! The church is in a wonderful community about 90 miles north of the Kansas City area - just 8 miles from the Iowa border, and even includes a parsonage.

Thanks for all of your prayers as we contiue to seek God's perfect will for us.

Blessings!!

The Unexpected!

Life is full of turns. There has been an amazing turn of events lately. Last week I went up to Kansas City to see if there were any possible doors open for ministry. Low and behold two opportunities have popped up rather quickly.

One is from a new church plant, in the north town area - they are seeking a worship leader (team), in which Holly and I have done in the past, but have not really been looking to pursue. However, the possibility is pretty intriguing. I met with the pastor and his wife, and my philosophy (views) of worship seem to line up with his.

Another, is from a church in a small community north of Kansas City. They are pursuing me as their next senior pastor. While up in Kansas City, I received a call form the search team, seeing if I would be willing to come up for an interview. They couldn't believe that I was already in the area. Soooo, the next day I drove up to the town, did a lot of sight-seeing, and met with the team. They were such a blessing, and the interview went very well!

Sooooo, I am perplexed. God is so good - not only do I have a ministry opportunity staring me in the face - BUT TWO!

Please pray for Holly and I as we seek God's perfect guidance in all of this. We only want what He wants.

Blessings to Your Week!
