New Kid on the Block

This coming Sunday will mark one month since arriving in Big Spring.  We already feel at home and part of the family here.  It would be easy to rest on my "laurels", if you will, but I feel this desire to continue to push forward.  I sense that God is at work here, and my only response can be one of complete surrender.

The biggest part of the first few months here will be to assess the situation.  After this first month my initial assessment reveals a body that is "bruised, but not crushed".  This church has been through a lot over the past few years and I am determined not to be a part of the past, but a part of the future.  I see a people hungry for God to do something, but just not sure what that will entail.  I also believe there is a willingness to change, a willingness to move on and not sit back in self pity. 

This Church, Birdwell Lane Baptist Church, is going to impact this community for the cause of Christ.  I know this because I have seen there desire, there heart.  God will use you if you make yourself available to him.  I ask that if you are reading this you will partner with us in prayer that God will use this church to expand the Kingdom of Christ.

In His Grace,
