deep in the heart of texas

When I came to Dallas in 2003 to go to SAGU, I never imagined I would still be here in 2009. So much has happened that I wouldn't know where to start, but looking back I do see God's hand guiding. I didn't always see it in the moment, especially over the past 2-3 years, but I certainly do now.

In all the chaos and in all the mystery, I have found God revealed more. One of my core prayers is for God to continue to reveal the mystery of the Gospel of his Kingdom in my life. And he has done so.

This past year we have had a great opportunity to serve alongside some of our closest friends and help them start a church. When we made the decision last year to move to Frisco, we knew it would only be a short season and did our best to communicate that to them up front. Zach and Mandy have been so gracious and supportive in allowing us to discover God's immediate plan for our lives, and we wish them and The Crossing nothing but God's best.

Lacey's already written about it, but on June 1 we embark on a new journey, although it's not all that new. The culmination of preparation over the past 6 years (SAGU/ The Oaks, Harvest Time, The Crossing, and the Glocalnet Internship with Bob Roberts) has led us to this point. Through mutual friends, Nathan and Ricky, I connected with John. We will be joining the Gateway family in San Antonio/ Helotes to lead the student ministry and facilitate their new church planting internship.

What a challenge, but we are anxiously looking forward to our new endeavor. I can't even begin to wrap my mind around some of the possibilities. I would appreciate your prayers as we take the next step in our journey.

Congrats! That is so exciting to hear. What will you do with the church planting internship?

Thanks Michael. Not exactly sure because we are actually starting it from the ground up.

I've been a part of one this past year with Bob Roberts that will probably play a role in shaping it.

I think it could be a great thing for the AG, as far as training church planters. I'll keep you updated on it though.
