A big, scary decision!

Lots of people already know, but I feel the need to give you the whole story.
Dave and I have been praying for several months about joining a ministry team to plant a church in Hot Springs, Arkansas. When Dave mentioned it the first time, I thought, "NO WAY!" But over time, God brought me around and has truly changed my heart about it.

We're partnering with Mike and Deby Prince and moving right after Easter to Hot Springs. We're going to be planting a garage church. Our goal is to reach people through their interest in cars, trucks and motorcycles. We'll start with small groups and when we have multiple small groups, we'll merge and have corporate worship.

Needless to say, this is a huge decision. I'm leaving my job and have found a new one there. Praise God (do you realize He works very quickly sometimes!)! We have to find housing and Dave a job. But we're VERY excited. God has been moving in some huge ways in preparing the way for us. If He's moving this much before we ever get there, I'm excited to see what He does once we hit the field.

I'm creating this blog to keep you informed on our progress and our efforts. But also to make our prayer requests known. We will need your prayers so much. Please partner with us in prayer--I know it works!

Right now these are our major prayer concerns:
1. Housing for us
2. For our current churches (Mike & Deby's and ours) to have a smooth transition into new pastors and pastor searches.
3. the city of Hot Springs, AR

Stay tuned and in touch!
