We're Back

We're back and wish we weren't. We had a such a wonderful time in Post Falls, ID this past weekend. The scenery was beautiful, the weather was fantastic and the people were extremely friendly and welcoming.

We left Minneapolis at 2:45 Thursday afternoon and arrived in Spokane, WA at 9:00am the next morning. Dan said it was a guy thing to see if he could last through the night. He did great! We spent the morning touring Airway Heights, the location of one of the church plants. Had lunch with Doug and Linda, His Place Church's pastor and wife. Then headed back to John and Lisa's for a nap.

Dan and I met with Doug again for lunch on Saturday as well as the district superintendent. This was like an interview for Dan. I listened and eat a tasty elk burger. Yummy. Saturday night was dinner with the elders and their wives. This was very fun. It too was a time of questions, both from us and from them. Doug kept saying, Good Question! to each of Dan's questions. He seemed very impressed and we got lots of positive feedback from everyone. We liked them a lot as well.

Sunday, we joined them for church. The service was so good that I'm disappointed that we won't be there for next weeks. The congregation surprised us and took up an offering to help pay for our gas. What a blessing!! We got more than the cost of the entire trip. Thank you His Place Church!

I know a lot of you are asking, Now What? We have agreed, along with the church, to spend the next week in prayer seeking God for direction. We would like to invite you to join us in prayer as well. We still don't have many details of how everything will work but we do know that we can see ourselves doing ministry with this church and look forward to seeking God for direction.

I'll post more when I know more... :)

How would you like to wake up to this every morning?
