Intense

Well it has been awhile since I've last posted. I've been busy with pastoral tasks and trying to keep up with my studies. I've been impressed by the success of the mentoring program of One and One. The men who have signed on to that minsitry have been an encouragement to me. I know that they've sharpened me and helped me to stay on task and focused. I'm also working with a young man in our church who has captured the vision cast for a college ministry here in the Anderson area. Thus far they are averaging about 8 students. I know that God will continue to bless that effort. I meet with him as well in a leadership mentorship geared toward college age adults.

I'm excited about the work being done to get the school up and going. It has been hard at times to juggle the schedule to keep things going. The school project is consuming more time than I'd care to admit, but it's groundbreaking for our church and for me personally. I'm watching as God brings the team together. I'm excited as we draw closer to our first year this coming fall. Check out the link to the school on the right.

Our series on the family is on Sunday mornings. We've had an awesome time looking at the roles and relationship God plans and purposes for the family. I'm also excited about our "Kingdom Heart" series on Wednesday night. In our services last week, we took two opportunities to count the various ministries at Landmark. Between children's ministries, women and mens ministries, missions, mentoring, and music ministries there about twenty. That included grounds and maintenance ministries essential to the operation of a church facility. I'm awed at all God has done and is doing at LBC. I'm looking with excitement and anticipation at what the future holds for this great church.
