Florida Friends
This past week our family had an opportunity to visit with some dear friends in Florida. Amy and I moved to Dade City, Florida in July of 1993. We had been married around two years and First Baptist Church of Dade City called me to be the Student Pastor of the church. We did not know anyone in the church or the area when we moved to Florida. It was a new experience in faith for us as a young married couple. That was sixteen (16) years ago and three children have been born since then into our family. We had four wonderful years there.
It is amazing how there are some relationships you just step back into after many years of being out of contact and feel like nothing has ever changed. We have been blessed with those types of relationships and friends through out our ministry. On this particular trip we spent time with Bill and Beverley Hild, the former pastor I served with in Dade City, for a few days. He is now the Sr. Pastor of FBC Sarasota, FL.
I had the privilege of meeting and talking with the staff team at FBC Sarasota about how God is moving at LifePoint Church and about our exciting journey as a family. I am thankful for the opportunity to give a word of testimony about the glory of God and the power of His call.
Thanks Bill and Beverly for investing into Amy and me all those years ago and for all you are doing today to minister to our family today.
More Florida stuff later.
