Starting Points: Missionary Update, The Deputation Trail
After our last post, we left to spend some time in Michigan with Community Baptist Church. While we're here I am helping the church develop a curriculum addressing the various challenges we face as Christians at each life stage. From my experience, it's too easy to forget what it was like to be a teenager, or to be completely shocked by the responsibilities of being a parent with young children. On the other side, I can't pretend to know what it's like to feel "Lost in the Middle." Each transition in our lives gives us an opportunity to demonstrate our new identity found through the gospel. And it's been my job to begin to cull resources and to outline a path for courses to prepare people for these changes. I am enjoying the assignment and also the chance to develop relationships with the people of CBC.

We have been traveling less the last few weeks. Our main task has been to continue building up relationships and partnerships here in central New York while setting up time to invest and minister with other churches here in the region and back in the Southwest.
One answer to prayer was an opportunity I had to share the gospel briefly with children and young people at the Vacation Bible School at First Baptist Church, Cincinnatus, NY. The church welcomed us to the cookout afterward, and we enjoyed connecting with new friends and with folks Jenny's family has known for years. Jen's grandfather had pastored this church when their family lived up here, and the church remembers him fondly. We hope to continue building contacts here and look forward to their missions conference this October.
We spent part of Independence Day with Calvary Baptist, Preble. We savored the opportunity to celebrate our American freedoms with these believers. We had already enjoyed presenting our work to the church on 24-Jun, and we're looking forward to continuing to serve this church as they look for a pastor. Would you pray that God would grant wisdom to the pulpit committee and that they would be able to find a pastor?
The coming weeks have us in Michigan as we get to know Community Baptist Church in Woodhaven. They are graciously having us back for an extended time after my initial presentation in April. We are excited about this opportunity to dive into ministry with this church as it seeks to fulfill Christ's mission.
We are so grateful for the host of people who pray for us regularly. Please keep these three churches in mind as we pray together for God to provide for our needs through his people so that we can further Christ's fame in Kenya!

The Lord answered your prayers while we were in Albuquerque, NM. We only had an extended weekend to move our stuff from storage, organize it, and load it into the trailer we rented to move everything up to Michigan. But we were able to finish the job. We were grateful for help that came in from a few family members to keep us going. My mom pitched in and babysat the kids many of the days. They even got to go to a local aquarium one day.
After dropping off the trailer in Michigan, we enjoyed Resurrection Sunday with New Testament Baptist Church, a partner church in Syracuse, NY, where Jen's family attends. No sooner had we arrived, it seemed, and I was off for another engagement.
One of my good friends from seminary days is a pastor at Community Baptist Church, Woodhaven, MI. The church's two pastors, a mutual friend, and I, attended a large pastors' conference in Kentucky. I can't remember a more spiritually enriching time of preaching from the Word, theological discussion, and fellowship around the gospel. I was glad to touch base with many contacts from college while I was there as well. We came home eager to return to our ministries in local churches. That Sunday I was able to present the ministry at Community Baptist.
Last week, I gave myself to catching up on a considerable task list that had mounted while we were packing and attending conferences. During the week, the pastor at New Testament Baptist made arrangements to take another church leader and me to another's pastors conference. This smaller conference was still characterized by great preaching from the Word and fellowship. The three of us had a few great theological conversations on the six-hour car ride each way. God is so good to provide these times of mutual sharpening and encouragement!
Sunday before last, I was able to introduce myself to the deacons of an area church that is currently without a pastor. I'm eager to see what opportunities to serve the Lord will provide through this church, New Testament Baptist, and others in the area. Building relationships through service is often the route to new partnerships for the progress of the gospel around the world.
Thank you for keeping our desire to reach Kenya quickly before the Lord in your prayers.

Jared Compton recently posted this interview with me over at the DBTS blog, Theologically Driven. It serves as a great overview of our year in Zambia:
