“He let loose the east wind from the heavens…” (Psalm
78:26a).
God has provided a new ministry for us. An east wind blew and we are headed west,
thankful for God’s provision. I will be
serving in pastoral leadership in Council
Bluffs , Iowa , and we
are very excited about this new opportunity.
A key verse for us as we have sought God’s leading is Psalm
18:19…… “He brought me out into a spacious place….” Council Bluffs
is part of the Omaha
area that contains over a million people, making it a “spacious” opportunity
with a large urban center nearby in one direction and a rural environment in
the other. The church is in an ideal
location, right next to a thriving college, also offering potential to impact
students that could be “sent” to places
beyond. It is a wonderful church
body---we love the people there. Thanks
for your prayers as we have been on this journey of seeking the people and
place of God’s calling.
Congratulations Kristi and Steve! Becky and I are very happy for you both! we're glad that God has called you to serve as pastor. The people in Council Bluffs have been very blessed!
