Take Me Home, Country Roads

I am excited to announce that I have accepted the position of young adults minister at the Grand Central Church of Christ in Parkersburg, West Virginia. We will transition out of Memphis and Harding School of Theology over the next few weeks and months. We ask our friends globally to join us in prayer: praise for this new opportunity to serve, thanks for the blessings we have received in Memphis, and strength as we move to a new work.

The Grand Central congregation has been very encouraging to us. When we visited a few weeks ago, we kept running into friends from college, family of friends. All roads, apparently, lead to Parkersburg!

I will have the opportunity to work primarily with the 18-30 year-old crowd. If you have read much of my blog, you know that this age group is near and dear to my heart. I’m very excited about reaching out to students at the nearby Ohio Valley University as well as the young adults in the church and outside of the church.

Harding School of Theology is an amazing school. I’ve been very blessed to be here. I have really been able to grow as a leader, minister, and student of the Word. I cannot express my gratitude to the students, faculty, staff, and friends who have made this such a wonderful experience.

I ask all blog readers to join us in prayer as we transition to this new phase of our life. Pray for our family. Pray for our house to sell. [Let me know if you need a great house in Memphis!]

In all things, may God be praised!
