Hello lifer’s... I wanted to take a few minutes to let everyone at VRL know what is going on in my life and what God has planned for me next. I want you first of all to know that I love you all and truly miss you. When I resigned in October I never thought it would result in me never again having the opportunity to stand before you and tell you a few things that you really needed to hear. So I will say it here instead.
You needed to hear me say “thank you”. So many of you have survived the hards days of being a mobile church and have served tirelessly and given generously. You play a huge part in the reason why VRL has grown so much over the last 6 years. And I cannot thank you enough for the grace you gave me as I strived to live up to God’s call on my life.
You also needed to hear me say “keep praying for me as I keep praying for you”. Charles Spurgeon once said this about the church “on their feet they may be conquered, but on their knees they are invincible.” I assure you that if we all continue to pray for each other that there will be nothing that we will not be able to overcome.
Lastly I want to tell you what is next for me. After resigning I wondered if I should leave the ministry for good. God has confirmed that His plan for me is still in the ministry and that eventually I will plant another church here in the Spokane area. However, for now I believe that God has asked me to humbly take on a support role and refresh myself with what it’s like to serve under the leadership of another. For that reason I will serve on staff at Eastpoint Church as a pastor to young adults starting in the near future. While this will be a big change for me I am really looking forward to it.
So there you have it... Hope that helps and if you have any questions or comments you know what to do...
