Answered Prayer

Karen and I have been in much prayer this past week concerning the Ft. Bragg church. We realized that it would be very difficult to have me in CA and Karen in La Junta. The winter can get quite harsh here and Karen would have to deal with it by herself. So the Lord answered our prayers with the Ft. Bragg church realizing the same thing. Bill Yeomans e-mailed us this morning--part of the e-mail stated "It was an almost unanimous decision that we feel it would be a disservice to you, to ask you to give up so much to come here, when we have such a limited congregation and as you clearly stated, "an uphill climb" to develop a viable ministry."

So we are still waiting for God's leading regarding another ministry.

If you would like to get insight into a search committee's search for a pastor, this is an interesting web page to visit. It details their process. Their initial search began in July and they have just recently re-posted the position to start the search process again: http://www.hillmongrove.org/Pastor%20Search%20information2.pdf You can see why it takes a long time to hear back from a church!
