It is time...

Turns out that I didn't have to wait out the remaining two months to know the results of my interim status at the church. As of this next Sunday, I will no longer be there as an "interim" pastor. So, that means that we're just in time to have things ready for 2008.
As much as there's a clearer definition about being a "permanent" pastor, in a sense, we're always there on an interim basis, only because ultimately, God is the one with the last word on time, seasons, moves, etc. Plus, it's his church....not mine.

A few thoughts...

· We'll be starting as an all Spanish-speaking congregation, but it's just a matter of time before we launch the English-speaking aspect of the ministry as well.
· Having a core team is essential to the mission and vision God has placed in my heart. Thankfully, there are several people to whom I've been talking and praying with about joining us....seems as though they're accepting the challenge.
· We'll be moving to a more functional place in the new year (thinking about children's ministry and nursery). The place where we meet now isn't the most optimal place to do ministry.
· It's just exciting to be part of what God is doing....riding his wave and being able to reach people for Christ. It's gonna be sweet!
