We Are The New Leaders At Pinecroft Baptist Church!
It's been quite a while since I last relayed an update of our ministry activities. And that is not because there's been a lack of activity. Up until very recently, I have been sitting with the Lord and patiently waiting for His instruction and direction. What became clear to me for this period of weeks and months, is the Lord wanted me to focus on building my business and continue serving my family, including my wife and our increasingly active kiddos.
As I was waiting on the Lord and seeking His face for the future of FaithFire, a small Baptist church was looking for a preacher. A sweet lady named Connie was searching for a pulpit fill-in for an upcoming Sunday and it seemed she was running out of options. Connie paid a visit to our local Teen Challenge in Greensboro and after talking to a few people, she was given my number. I was the third person she would call.
Eventually, I took the opportunity to preach to heart and accepted the invitation to preach the Word on a soon-to-come Sunday morning. After a few weeks, I had preached a few Sundays here and there, and the members started to ask, "Would you consider being our pastor?" I promised them I would pray about it.
In actuality, I didn't think I had enough time to commit to serving a fellowship in a pastoral role. But I asked my wife to pray about it (I didn't want to hear God say 'YES'). After several weeks and several conversations, I started to pray because my wife felt the Lord was guiding us in this direction. Finally, following a couple months of prayer and seeking counsel and talking it through with my wife, I accepted the role of Senior Pastor at Pinecroft Baptist Church.
FaithFire Is Alive And Well
FaithFire isn't going anywhere. I can tell you that our ministry outside the church walls will continue with community and international outreach and revival services. We are planning a worship night for New Year's Eve at Pinecroft, in fact, and hope you can join us.
There have been some opportunities for international ministry in Mexico and Lima, Peru lately. These were outdoor crusades that were in the works, but after talking with our partner ministry, we decided the time wasn't right.
As march closer to a new year, I'm convinced FaithFire will be active in the coming year with the ministry that we have been committed to over the last four years. We will be reaching the lost with the love and power of Jesus Christ through revival nights, community outreach, and international crusades and revivals. We now just have a church home that we are leading as well.
We Hope To See You
If you have followed this ministry or our lives for any measure of time, we want to thank you for your prayers and encouragement. To our donors, you continue to help make ends meet as well as help FaithFire fund our community and international revival projects. We hope to see some of you in person very soon at Pinecroft. May the Lord bless you!
Blessings,
