Friends,
It is with great excitement that Laurel and I write you to let you know that June 23rd we will be heading to Tacoma, Washington for a week of training at Soma Immerse.
Soma is a family of churches around the world who are committed to making disciples who make disciples to the glory of God. Soma Immerse is a weeklong blend of classroom time and exposure to everyday life of the Soma church body.
As we finish up our last year serving the Greenhouse community of college students, we are praying that this equipping time at Soma Immerse will help us clarify and strengthen the Greenhouse vision so that the community as a whole can continue in even greater health once we are gone. God has been so gracious to allow us to serve with the Summit Church in North Little Rock in this.
We also hope that this trip will equip and challenge us as we look towards moving to Eastern Europe within the next years to be a part of the multiplying church Jesus is building there.
We are thankful that God has provided all of our funding for our trip through our closest community! Our church family know they have been blessed to be a blessing!
After the training week we will enjoy a week of vacation and anniversary celebration at a friend’s house near San Francisco and the Red Woods! We are looking forward to this first real getaway since we’ve been married!
God’s story is always adventurous and we’re glad he’s invited us through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus to be a part of it!
PLEASE PRAY FOR
- An even deeper understanding of the gospel through this week.
- A teachable spirit as we are being equipped to serve the Church.
- For this summer and our last year at The Greenhouse.
- That we would discern God’s direction for the next season of our life.
- For a restful and energizing time for our marriage while in California.
