So - I have been - we have been - and God is answering. He has answered through a lot of great people in the church doing a lot of good stuff - AND he is answering by making some people CrAzY!
A family of 9
Moving in January from Spokane WA (yes that is WASHINGTON - as in Washington STATE) - and YES - that is 9, NINE) The pic is Patrick and his sons, Caleb, Noah, and Josiah. I couldn't find the whole family - maybe they don't all fit in one picture? They are awesome! 3 Boys from Ethiopia, 2 Girls from Washington, 2 Girls natural and from GA - what a great mix.
Patrick will continue in Macon as the Executive Director of Grace Giving International and work for NCCd for FREE. He is already working - at least in his head - thinking about areas of need, priorities... Patrick will serve as the HOW Pastor - that is, he will work hard at figuring out all of the "how do we" questions. Patrick has served as a pastor in 2 different churches and in numerous capacities. Pray for Jennifer, Patrick and the crew! Pray that God keeps them a little crazy!
And then there are the CrAzY VerSteegs!
Tyler, Sarah, and little V on the way!
Tyler has served in a staff capacity at 2 churches here in Macon. He has been a youth pastor and has led worship and overseen multiple bands. Tyler has resigned from a paying church job so he could help with this NON-PAYING church job! Their last Sunday is this Sunday, and then they're here!
Pray that they stay crazy too!
Crazy.
