Church Planting Update March 27th + Prayer request
Moving is not the most enjoyable process. It is a lot of work and planning. We are one week away from our move to North West Arkansas (NWA). 95% of our things are packed, so we are using paper plates and cups and looking at boxes everywhere.
Many have asked how our last week will look as we wrap up ministry and life in Lynnwood. You can find us at the online prayer gathering on Tuesday, we will be at youth group on Wednesday, and I will have one last fire-pit with the guys on Thursday to finish 1 John 5. Then, on Friday, I fly to Boise ID. to rent a truck and drive it back to Lynnwood. Saturday will be a loading day. Sunday, we will attend Crossway Fellowship one last time and leave promptly after the service ends. Perhaps, the church will gather outside and wave us on, weather permitting.
We will travel 7hrs. back to Boise ID. on Sunday to arrive at our overnight stay. Monday, 12hrs. driving will get us to Denver CO. where we will stay with our son Isaac. Tuesday, another 12hrs. will get us into NWA. On Wednesday, we will get up and do a walk-through of our new home in Siloam Springs AR. Our closing will be sometime after the walk-through, and then, the unloading will begin.
We want to thank all those who have helped us pack and all those who will help us load on Saturday. Our task is exhausting, and we cannot do it alone. Kristen and I, also want to thank Elaine and all those who sent us off yesterday at Crossway! What a wonderful time of encouragement - it felt like the church gave us a big hug (and we received many individual hugs). Thank you, Crossway for loving us so well.
We are on the move….
HOW YOU CAN PRAY!
Pray for Bart as he goes to Idaho to get the rental truck this Friday! Pray that it is not windy. Pray that the passes are clear.
Pray for us as we travel Sunday thru Tuesday. Pray that it is not windy. Pray that the passes are clear. Pray for our vehicles.
Pray that God would prepare a people to join the new church plant. We are excited to see where and who God calls to His new body.
