Update from the Mountains

Putting down some roots for the sake of growth

Hello Everyone,

I wanted to write an update for anyone who is interested and what better medium than our old, dusty, unused blog!

Suzanna and I just celebrated two years since our move to Clark, Colorado and we have thought back on all the memories, relationships and the faithfulness of God. One thing we both emphatically agree on is that it has been a wonderful two years. This place really does feel like home to us now.

Over the last few months we have had some doors open, some close and some really great opportunities outside of Clark. There was an opportunity on Colorado's "front-range," one back in the Midwest and even something out of the country. And while these were good and exciting opportunities, Suzanna and I were struggling with leaving this place. It just didn't seem like we were supposed to leave yet. There is so much opportunity for the local church in Clark to grow and develop and we wanted to be a part of what God is already doing here, in this unlikely place.



We are excited to announce that we are going to continue our work with North Routt Community Church. God has already moved in exciting ways as our small rural church grows and become more stable. We feel that God is calling us to stay put and help move the church to new places and cast a bigger vision of who God has us to be and what He is calling us to do in a town that desperately needs to know the love and grace God has for us in Jesus.

So here is what the plan is for this blog moving forward - it will still be used as a space to update friends and family on our journey here but I will also use it as a space to share the thoughts, struggles,  joys and all the lessons being learned while doing ministry in rural Colorado. I am excited to share more about our adventures here from raising chickens, hiking mountains to our most important journey which is partnering with God as He develops a local expression of His people right here in an isolated mountain town.

So, we hope you follow along with us as God takes us further on this crazy journey.

Suzanna and I just want to thank you for all the different ways you have supported us over the last two years -  through prayer, finances, letting us crash at your homes, and everything in between. We feel truly loved and supported by so many from all over the world.
