Looking forward to what God has next!

I want to let you know that we are going to be candidating 
at West Cannon Baptist Church near Grand Rapids, Michigan
on July 29 and 30.


As I shared in May, we are prayerfully looking forward to taking what we have learned at Emmanuel Baptist Church to another church.  God, in his great providence, helped us connect with the leadership team at West Cannon.

I am excited about the opportunity to serve as the pastor of adult ministries and discipleship if this where the Lord has us serve.
The adult ministries part of this role includes development and oversight of the Adult Bible Classes, men's and women's ministries and small groups.
The Discipleship part includes leading the process of developing a culture of evangelism and discipleship along with a Biblical Counseling training program.  

I am very excited about these opportunities to help West Cannon grow in their disciple making mission of worshipping God, encouraging one another and proclaiming the good news of Jesus Christ.  

It has been great to connect with the leadership team and their wives.

There are many transitions ahead for Krista, Joel (entering 9th grade), Josiah (entering 6th grade) and Jadyn (entering 2nd grade) and me.  We could GREATLY appreciate your prayers as we prepare for our ministry change, the kid's schooling and so many other things.  

A great connection we have already made with West Cannon is they are another supporting church of Mark and Anahi Self, our missionary friends in Argentina.

Please pray for our time during the last weekend in July.  
I am speaking to a couple of different groups of people on Saturday, July 29th and 
preaching in both of the morning services on the 3oth and
answering questions in the evening.
