It was a little over a month ago we announced publically that we were following God’s call to plant a church in Oceanside, California. The response has been nothing but amazing, ranging all the way from affirming the call God has on our lives as a family, to the pledging of financial support, and to the most needed aspect of all—continued prayer. As of this letter’s printing, we have received many donations and eighteen people have pledged to support us on a monthly basis. We are praying and trusting God that sixty-five people will commit to donating $100.00 per month for three years, because this is what it will take to sustain us during the planting process.
We have now established Sunday, July 13 as our departure date from the Central Valley. From there we will be taking some time off to get settled in before we begin the work at hand. Again, we will be working within a broader team and network. Infusion Church in Escondido, CA, lead by Pastor Matt Ortiz, is the church we are planting out of—they are the sending body and also a Reformed Church. Krystal and I will be working closely with Pastor Josh Stuhlmiller and his wife Monica, who are a couple that are already planting in the community of San Marcos, which is west of Escondido. We will be supporting them in their effort and they in turn will be mentoring us through the process as we begin to plant in the Oceanside area.
Now, we are asking you to be part of this life changing, kingdom movement. First and foremost we are asking you to pray. Pray for the continued guidance of the Holy Spirit over all that takes place in this process of gathering together; the people that will be part of this new church. Next, we need your financial support to sustain us as a family as we follow God’s leading. Prayerfully consider supporting us on a monthly basis. Finally, if God is calling you to be a part of this venture we would love for you to contact us and if God so leads to join us. Thanks
