Dear Colleagues and Friends, I so look forward to serving you as our district's new superintendent. Thank you all for your warm welcome and kind encouragement as we begin this new season together. God is able to do exceeding abundantly, beyond all that we ask and think (Ephesians 3:20). So much is therefore still in store as we journey together as faithful Methodists and followers of Jesus in this the 21st century. There is no greater privilege than to engage in the mission to make disciples in His name.
For the last few days of June and first few days of July (thru 7/3), I will be on a missions trip with my son studying the very grave human trafficking problem in Northern Mexico. Please keep us in your prayers while we are away for both our safety and courage. It seems so daunting. I want to see like Jesus sees.
Upon my return, I plan on posting regularly to keep you informed of my activity and sharing thoughts and ideas that I pick up along the way from all of you. It will give us a forum to carry on a conversation that can maybe, just maybe expand our horizons for God’s kingdom work.
Looking forward to meeting you all very soon.
In Christ Alone,
Chris

Welcome to the Blogosphere. I am excited to trek through your journey with you and will be covering you with my prayers during your transition.
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting us know about your schedule. Have a safe journey.
ReplyDeleteHi Chris,
ReplyDeleteI give thanks to God that you are willing to invest the time, energy, and resources to join your son in exploring the evils of human trafficking. It seems that God is quicking in you the desire to release the captives. I trust that the Holy Spirit will guard your heart and purity so that you may see Him clearly. I trust that not even the gates of hell will prevail against you for greater is He who is in you than He who is in the world. I trust, your vision will be expanded and your heart embolden to do His will.
I also look forward to your leadership within the Miami Valley district, the WOC, and wherever God sends you as His ambassador and our representative. God is with you.
