Change.

As of January 1st, Jess and I will be partnering with a group of great friends to begin a movement of Missional Communities in the Salem area. I won’t go into a ton of detail in this blog. You can read Jess’ post about it and check out the new website for more details.

I guess the point of this post is simply to make it “blog official”. I know I don’t have many readers
here anymore… That’s what happens when you only post 4 times per year.

We are extremely excited about this calling and are looking forward to how God will show his glory as we’re faithful to it. While we are not immune to fears of the unknown (Are we strong enough for this? Will our vision even work? Did God screw up when He convicted us of this? Is our family ready for such radical change? Are we prepared for the inevitable hurt that will come our way? How will we pay our basic bills?), we are confident that God has surrounded us with an incredible community to serve with and will provide for us as He always has.

Most of my blogging will be taking place over here, but I plan to use this as a place to share insights into our lives as we learn and grow as a family through this process.

I am extremely thankful for the leadership of New Harvest Church, specifically Barry Braun. Barry and the elders have been beyond generous and supportive and there is no way we would be ready for January if it wasn’t for them.

So, like I said, if you want more details check out my wife’s blog or head on over to the PAX website.
