Ok, so they tell me I need a blog so here we go...
If you're checking this site, the chances are you already know a little about us. So, we'll try to catch you up. Kristin and I (Brett) are currently in Louisville (pronounced "Loo-vul"), Kentucky. I am a little past half-way through the Masters of Dvininty program at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, and also about half way through the Masters of Business Administration program at Brenau University...yeah, I have no life right now! Kristin is a teacher at Fairdale High School and is in the process of beginning an on-campus student Bible study. She graduates this May from the University of Louisville with a Masters of Arts and Teaching.
So, you probably already know some of that, so here's some new stuff...
We're now involved with a church plant in Bardstown, Ky...check our brand new church site out at http://www.connectioncommunitychurch.org/. You can also check out our movie theatre commercial at http://youtube.com/watch?v=fyz8nFv5XFs. I am serving on staff as the Family (aka Children's) Pastor. Our church is very exciting! We've been meeting since January 6, 2008! We are beginning to see some numerical growth and that makes it even more exciting.
Something else you might not know is that Kristin and I feel that God is leading us to Newfoundland, Canada after my graduation from Seminary. We're planning to team up with 2 other couples currently on the field there and help with some church planting in and around St. John's. The families are the Grissoms and the Dorseys. This is very new for us...we began feeling God directing us in this way only last fall, and He is continually reaffirming this call in our lives. Though we would miss our current position incredibly, we're very excited that God would use us for such a task! We're actually attending the NAMB (North American Mission Board) interviews during this next week...Monday-Wednesday. To learn more about the ministry in Newfoundland, check out http://www.missionforhim.com/.
For those of you that we haven't talk to in a while, no...we don't have any kids yet, but we do have a dog! Leia is a Husky/Malamute mix. She's about 7 years old. Kristin adopted her as her own when we got married...she had no choice. I love my dog!
Well, that's about all that's new for now. God is continuing to work in our lives and bless us tremendously. We're also working on a website and will post on here when it's up. Check back often and thanks for reading! God bless!!!
