Next Steps

Today is a turning point day for the Anderson crew. First, because we have officially announced that we are following God's call to help build up His church in Louisville, KY. And second because it might (no promises here) actually mark the time when I start to blog (hold the applause, both of you).

This really is the culmination of a dream we've had for over 10 years now - to work with Kristin's mom and dad in ministry - preaching the word, making disciples and planting churches - together! I remember when her folks got to their first senior pastorate in Florida, how Mike (I have to call him that now - Papa just doesn't feel very professional) prophetically invited me to lead his 3rd church plant. I have always been inspired by his approach to Biblical community, centered in small groups - and by his commitment to plant churches. Now we have the privilege of coming alongside two people who have already greatly impacted our lives (and happen to be family members) to do the work of ministry together!

It looks like our last Sunday in Charlotte will be June 28 - please join us in praying for a smooth transition in which we can finish well here and get things started well in Louisville!
