State Capital Bound

I have accepted a ministry position with NewSpring Church to become the Children’s Director for the new Columbia Campus that will be launching in the very near future. I cannot begin to tell you how excited we are to begin this new journey. God has opened some amazing doors for us in the past 6-8 weeks and we are stepping through them and moving to Columbia, with a goal of making the name of Jesus famous one life at a time in the state’s capital.

I will be working with a campus pastor (Alden Ellis) and a worship leader (Stephen Cope) and am blessed to be partnering with these two guys; they are ready to see God work in great and mighty ways. We have already heard from people that are ready to jump and volunteer in the ministry down there.

Pray for all 3 of our families as we relocate and team together to make the name of Jesus famous in Columbia.

Have a great week!

    I was thrilled that Karli attended camp at Look Up Lodge with FBC this past week. It was a pleasure to get to know and love her during this special time together. I’m sad that our paths did not meet until now. You should be a proud Daddy. I have loved your blogs about your wife and kids and never dreamed I would meet Karli and put it all together. May God bless this move to Columbia.
