Ministers Licensing process

I had my ministerial licensing interview on Tuesday and it went very well. I was nervous at first in a way that I hadn't been in a number of years. However the Lord answered my prayers and calmed my nerves and the interview was encouraging as my wife & I shared our stories and I answered theological questions.

On Wednesday I received an email that confirmed my suspicion as it said the C.O.O.L committee decided to recommend me to the executive board for licensing as a minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ. I am pleased to have this next step in ministry started and near completion. This was really a great affirmation of God's call on our live's.

The Lord is good that He would choose to use a messed up person like myself to reach people for Jesus.

Blogging... does anyone really read this?

I saw this picture awhile back and it made me laught and think about why we blog and what the impact of our blogging really is compared with what we would like to imagine it is. Anyway I'm mainly posting this humorous picture about blogging for humor's sake.

Ministerial Licensing Interview

Yesterday I had my Ministerial licensing interview with the Michigan district of the Missionary Church. My wife came with me and was interviewed some as well. The meeting went well and was encouraging. I recieved an email today stating that the C.O.O.L committee reccomended to the district executive board that I be licensed as a minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I have a couple of loose ends to complete and then in March the Executive board meets and I'll know then if i'm going to be licensed. I'm excited to move forward in ministry and this is a significant affirmation of the ministry the Lord has called me to.
