Seeking Pastoral Position

This is our most recent newsletter to family, friends, our church, and other long-time supporters in the ministry.

Many will remember from our last correspondence that we were considering  a potential opportunity for service with Baptist Mid-Missions in England. It has been well over a year since we took the first steps in a serious examination. You can imagine a lot has happened since then, and we have neither time nor words to express it all.

We can say that we have spent many hours in prayer, had many discussions with friends and family, as well as the BMM-England Field Council and BMM Administration. Unable to move forward with an arrangement for service there, and believing God may have a different path, we resigned from Baptist Mid-Missions effective February 23, 2009.

Thank you for praying and waiting for this decision to be made. It has been a long road, but we are blessed to have clear direction from the Lord, and are thankful to Baptist Mid-Missions for allowing us to travel it. We are also looking forward with excitement to what the future holds.

It has been our desire for several years now to be serving in a full-time preaching ministry. Therefore today we are seeking a pastoral position somewhere within the United States. While we are open to anything the Lord may provide, we would prefer a situation in which I could serve under a more experienced Pastor, or within a context that would allow me to obtain further theological education.

Our Pastor and church family have been wonderfully supportive over the past several years. They have encouraged us in our desire to serve the Lord and provided every possible support and help. We are grateful for every kindness they have shared.

We are also thankful for your support. You have been prayerful and patient companions as we have sought the Lord’s will, providing for us financially and in many other ways in the past nine years. Yes…it’s been that long!

If you know of potential opportunities in Pastoral ministry that you would like to pass along, please contact us and we would be happy to receive them. Thank you again for all you have done and been in our lives.

If you would like to speak with us about anything mentioned here, just leave a comment or send an e-mail. We will have more on this subject soon.
