It had been 46 days since the Holy Spirit strongly impressed on me to begin ministering alongside and under the mentoring of a visionary pastor. What was to be a meeting discussing discipleship in today's church, turned into a divine appointment. God was at work!
After a month and a half of prayerful days, sleepless nights, fasting, meetings and wise counsel, God has confirmed what his Spirit spoke to my heart in that January meeting. Long story short- On April 6, 2008, we will begin ministering at Grace Fellowship in Canton, Ohio under Pastor Keith Stephens.
We attended a service at Grace Fellowship yesterday morning, it was amazing. Both Robin and I sensed the Holy Spirit telling us that we were where he wanted us to be. As if that we're not enough we were met by many people expressing their enthusiasm in our coming and the need for the type of ministry God has gifted us to bring. We felt so at home.
We are excited about what God is doing and, at the same time, preparing for the transition. Leaving our current church will be difficult as our roots run deep - (Robin's great-grandmother founded Rogers Assembly of God). But with that sadness, comes the excitement. One of the greatest confirmations to us came when Robin realized how excited she was as God revealed his will. God is good!
Oh yeah, a note for my friend Gary Fowler - There is no whale, or even any water in sight!
