This past Winter and Summer, I was serving as an interim student pastor at Sandy Plains Baptist Church in Marietta, GA! This was an AWESOME experience, and I was able to see God work in incredible ways with these students. Here is a picture of us at MFUGE, this summer!
Now, we are in the lovely Baton Rouge where Lindsey is taking a year off from school while I finish my degree. (Just for your info sake, Lindsey is working on a Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy)I am hoping to finish with school in May, but we will most likely be here for another two years until Lindsey can finish her work.
As many of you know, I have sensed the Lord's leading me to establish a Christian Arts Academy...and as an update, this vision is still alive. God has continued to expand and refine His vision, and I will have to update you on this more at some point. In the meantime, I have been spending time doing continual research, absorbing information, preparing for the day when God officially opens the door for Lindsey and I to go full force with the Arts Academy.
We have also are planning to be a part of a church known as The Ring Community Church. This church is about one year old, and has had an incredible impact on LSU college students. Now the church is expanding to more ages, and we are very excited to be a part of this community for the season that we are here.
Here are some concrete things you can be praying for.
- 1. Pray that God will continue to make this period that I am in seminary a time where I am continually growing and being refined.
- 2. Pray for opportunities for Lindsey and I to build relationships with people in the community whether it is in our apartment complex or at Lindsey's work or whatever.
- 3. Pray that God will continually motivate us to be content in the present, as we serve here in Baton Rouge
We definitely appreciate your prayers!
Hopefully we will hear from some of you soon!
Great things are in store!
