A Change in Direction

For those of you who have not heard, Robin and I have made a change in direction for our ministry. We both came to the conclusion that God would have us serve as missionaries with Child Evangelism Fellowship.

This is a radical change from our initial pursuit as church planting missionaries with the Baptist Bible Fellowship. We will be working in the USA reaching children for Christ. A major part of our ministry will be promoting the ministries of CEF and starting After School Good News Clubs. We will be training adult leaders to operate and teach in these clubs.

There are many reasons for this change but the most important being the leading of the Holy Spirit. This is a God thing, as testified of by the godly people in our lives who we counseled with concerning this decision. Robin and I are totally at peace with this and are convinced this is what God wants with our lives at this point.

Actually, we have not been accepted by CEF yet. We made application with them two weeks ago and had people send in reference forms. Tuesday morning we had our first phone interview. Everything went well and we expect another more lengthy interview in a couple weeks.

I hope you share in our excitement about this avenue of ministry and will pray with us that God will have His way and will be honored in this pursuit.

More info. to follow soon.
