Thanks for visiting everyone! We are excited about some things God is doing in our life right now, and we will be back to using this page to keep you up-to-date on some of that.
We have been privileged to lead Corinth Baptist Church in Westminster for the past 4 years! God has done many awesome things in our time there. We have sent mission teams to Tennessee, India, Atlanta, and Calgary, Alberta. We have seen a lot of growth in the people at Corinth, and have grown to deeply love our brothers and sisters in Christ there!
During our time there, God began to give us a greater heart to reach the nations. In our partnership with Calgary, Alberta, we have supported Southwinds Church and Pastor Bo Neal by sending teams there each summer. Over the course of the past 6 months or so, God began to help us see that He is doing more than just leading us to SEND, but to GO. When I (Brett) shared with Pastor Bo at Southwinds in Calgary that we felt God was leading us there to plant, he shared that the leadership of a new community called Mahogany had recently contacted him about starting (planting) a church in their community center (currently being built) when it opens in the Fall of 2014. Mahogany will consist of 30,000-40,000 people. As is the case throughout Calgary, about 97% of the people do not have a relationship with Jesus Christ. The leadership had been praying through that decision and praying that God would send them a person to plant and pastor that new church. The time they were praying that was the very same timeframe that God was solidifying that call on our lives.
Over the past 2-3 months, God has continued to confirm that call on our lives in incredible ways. This is a huge step for our family. Please be in prayer for our family, for our current church as they send us out to plant and also look for their next pastor, for Southwinds Church as they seek God in how to come alongside us, and for people in the community of Mahogany to whom we are called.
We will be missionaries through the North American Mission Board as church planters in Calgary. Please pray for us over the next several months as we will have to raise most of our financial support from people who want to partner with us in this new ministry. If you would like to partner with us in this exciting new ministry, please contact me and I would be happy to share more information with you about what God is doing through our lives and how you can partner with us.
