Commissioned

Yesterday was our last day at Covenant Baptist Church. Kristen and I were commissioned alongside Bill and Stacie Downing and all who are coming to join us at Grace Covenant Reformed Baptist Church.

We will miss worshipping with our brothers and sisters at Covenant. This was a bitter sweet moment yet these brothers and sisters will be close and so involved as we plant. There is joy and excitement also with so much to do as we look forward to our first gathering. My living room is full of things purchased and needing organization before they find their home in our rented storage space and await transport each week to the church. The sign in the back of my car will be hung today. I was going to list all the other things on this week’s agenda… but there is so much. I should just start getting it done.

I am grateful for Josh Rice and the Covenant Baptist Family. We are going and they are our support. Kind words and prayers have sent us. It has been a wonderful year and a half watching all that God has done. We believe he will continue to provide and bless this work in Northwest Arkansas both at Covenant Baptist and now at Grace Covenant. Unless the Lord builds the house those who labor do so in vain. The labor continues while we trust God to build his church.

Pictures of our first gathering coming soon.
