My wife and I have been in earnest prayer and fasting for well over a year about this, and at first we had thought that we would be starting up something new locally. every time we had conversations about it, though - We were more concerned about the unity of our current local church, so we didn't start a new work.
The calling still burning on our hearts, and with much prayer we have come to the conclusion that we need to step out in faith. Change is not easy, especially when we have come to another conclusion that we had to resign ourselves to the fact that we are going to probably have to move.
Many of you here have been very supportive, knowing our history and the legacy doctrinal stands in COGOP. So I wanted to let you all know that I have submitted my Ministry CV to a handful of state/regional overseers, and a few others for full time ministry consideration.
Your prayers are appreciated in this time of unrest and yet peace and joy in the next phase of the ministry and our lives.
EDIT - the reason this is "mostly", is that my local pastor has not made the announcement to our congregation yet. probably this weekend. but I wanted to make sure to let my Jude2 family know otherwise.
