miracles

i want to give praise to God for an amazing work i’ve been seeing and honor the faithfulness of my friend Chris. In the last two months God had changed everything. last night we were sitting down over a good drink talking about the ministry and all that God had been doing in our lives. we probably looked like fools sitting at the bar waving our hands excitedly about God. oh well.

Chris is our admin guy who’s going to make sure all our big ideas get done. such a blessing to us. he’ll also be key in discipling guys in the ministry as well. we were talking about our respective callings to be a part of this work God is doing at UW with Mars Hill, and sharing the sacrifices that had led to being a part of this team. A week ago Chris was undecided on whether to come on staff or take other job offers. God worked on his heart and convinced him to come on staff. he had sizable offers from companies to come work, but he turned them all down to work 20 hours a week making $12,000 a year so that he can give our ministry 30 hours a week. the crazy thing is that as we talked about this and laughed over how crazy it is, i couldn’t think of two happier guys in the world. we both said, “There is absolutely nothing in the world i would rather be doing than this.” That is a miracle. Praise God.

In two weeks i’m headed to Florida for new staff training with Matt, and, as of today, Chris also! I’m so excited for this time haha =D. thanks to everyone who’s financial partnership is making this possible and prayers are moving mountains. don’t stop!
