The 36

Last night was our first Wednesday night at Frisco. I am used to having about 150 students in the audience...last night there were 36. This only solidifies our calling. God has not called us to a developed ministry, he has called us to get our hands dirty and to get a few headaches. And man, I am grateful that he has chosen us for this mountainous task. He has surrounded us with great mentors and people pouring into us and we are ready for the challenge. Seeing the kids last night really got me excited to bust open the doors in Frisco and it all starts with the 36. The 36 will be the core who develops this ministry. The 36 will be the ones who bring their friends. The 36 will make a difference. The 36 will be world changers. The 36 will be the ones who will change their school and who slap Frisco in the face.... (that's a good thing).

God thank you for the 36!

God is Love.

Connect Conference Gateway Church 2011

Every year Gateway hosts a conference for Pastors entitled the "Connect Conference". Although this is my first conference with Gateway, being that this is only my second week at Gateway as a Pastor, it really hit me that I am at an AMAZING church. The fact that we are on staff at a Church that has an honorable reputation with the Church as a whole, and can teach the Church how to be healthy blows my mind. I am so grateful to God for sending me to this place and for allowing me to minister to people as I get blessed in return. I am excited for the weeks, months, and years ahead as I get paid to live out my dream, doing what God has called me to do at the place where God has strategically and divinely placed me.

God is Love.

New Adventure

February 14th I started a new job as the Student Pastor at the Frisco Campus of Gateway Church. Our time at the Met Church came to an end after 5 great years as God called us to Gateway. We are so grateful for our time at the Met and for all the relationships that were established. God definitely works in mysterious ways and I am the product of that. Our time at the Met was a time of development, understanding, and growth. I am very confidant that the skills and ministry experience that I learned at the Met will serve as a spring board in my next position.

Here's to the future and to the path that God has us all on.
