We have been searching for a new senior minister at our church for about 3 months now. This weekend, 4 people from our search team travel to go check out our top candidate. You could feel the presence of the Holy Spirit as we traveled and the easy with which everything happened. We had a great time meeting our candidate and his family and viewing the culture and and environment he helped shape. We learned a ton about him from a great meeting with the Elders at his church and other staff members. They are sad to see him leave but understand his following God as He is leading their family to a new opportunity to serve Him. We are bringing down the family in a week and a half for an interview and for the congregation to hear him speak and meet him.

On a side note I wished we would have had more time to walk around Chicago and not just see the little part we saw on the way to the airport (Midway). Lots of beautiful buildings with history and stories to tell, not like most of Florida.

Anyways pray for our church and this family as we hope will be a great time and a new chapter in this churches history book. One that will look externally to the lost in our community and do it through creating a culturally relevant environment, through a simple process that make disciples and turns those disciples back into the community to serve and love the people in the greater DeLand area.
