Mitch is in his final semester of seminary and preparing for graduation. As a result, about a month ago we began prayerfully pursuing full-time ministry by submitting resumes to pastorless churches in our area. One resume was also sent to a correctional institution out of state for an advertised chaplain position. Who knows where the Lord will lead. One thing is for sure--this is a time to exercise faith and trust that the Lord will provide according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus (Ephesians 4:19) and that His provision will come in His perfect timing. And because the enemy intends to bring discouragement and doubt to us at this time it is also a time to take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5). You can pray for us to this end. Also pray that we will discern God's will regarding the direction we are to go.
Besides a December graduation and spending time with family who will come to celebrate with us, we are looking forward to Mitch's ordination service at our church on October 25. This will be a time when our pastor, senior staff members, and the deacon body will be grilling Mitch on theological issues. You can pray for Mitch as he prepares his mind for this.
Thank you for your prayers! We'll keep you posted.

I am very proud of you! I will be praying for you and your family as God decides were he wants you. One thing to remember...something that should bring comfort to all of us...and it is something I learned for you: God is sovereign in all things. Where ever you are at it will be perfect because God put you there! Besides, any church or any ministry would be lucky to have a man like you (especially with that huge brain of yours MR EGG HEAD).
