As each month passes I appreciate your prayer more and more. This month is a busy month for Refuge City Church, as we go public and some prepare to move.
Earlier today I posted the preview video for Refuge City Church. John is sending the link to this video out to pastors in the Dayton area. John’s e-mail is also inviting those pastors and believers in Dayton to attend an informational dinner on June 18th. At this dinner we will release the longer video that breifly explains the core values of Refuge City Church. So we are celebrating today as the day we became public. Now that we are announcing the coming of a church to downtown Dayton, we are praying that others will capture the vision of planting the Gospel in downtown.
The meeting on June 18th is not soley an informational one, we are hoping that people and churches will help support Refuge City Church. First and most importantly we are asking for support through prayer. Secondly we are seeking support through partnership. It is our desrie to see the churches in Dayton unify more strongly to see the Gospel go forward. Lastly we are asking that they consider supporting financially. While there is a temtation to think that last is the most important, it is not. We firmly believe that of our request prayer is the most important.
The house has been on the market for awhile now and no one has shown interest. I am still looking at moving in July, but I might have to consider renting the townhouse. If you know anyone that might be interested please talk to them and have them contact me.
I was told to, “Shut up!” today by a co-worker. It seems like even though I have been telling people for nine months about moving this summer, some are still finding out. She then said I had to give her my e-mail and mailing address before I left, so she can still keep in touch with me.
Sorry if you were unable to make it to the dinner last month. It was a great time with people from various places I have spent my time while in Charlotte. You can still see the video from that night of what I wanted to share with my friends in Charlotte.
As we move from a period of time that has been spent on studying to a time primarily spent on videos, brocheurs, posters, legal documents, banking accounts, and so on; we would greatly appreciate your prayers as we begin to learn to do ministry together.
Scot is in Dayton, but has not found a job. Amy, John’s wife, has in inverview next week for a nursing position in Dayton. This past week I put my application in for Dayton City Schools. So many things are happening, and we really appreciate your prayers as we move forward. As of right now John and I hope to move to Dayton by mid-July.
