ENDINGS

July of this year was a time for me to say goodbye and leave the church plant in the Field of Miracles that was started in July 2006. God has blessed this work by providing a pastor and servants to carry on the work. Earlier this year I began to feel unrest in my heart that it was time for me to move on to a new work.
Endings? They are a natural part of our lives. For there to be anything new, old things always have to end, and we have to let them go. Letting go is always hard. We sometimes experience hesitation, sadness, resignation or regret. The hardest part for me was leaving the relationships with people. I learned at a conference years ago that a missionary is to M – Model , O – Observe, L – Leave. God showed me that it was time to leave. I can say that this has a "Happy Ending" because the Ascent Church will continue without the missionary. I am so thankful to each one of you and your faithful support and generous gifts that made it possible to plant this church in the city of Odessa. Please continue to pray for the Ascent Church that God’s light will continue to shine in the community and that many will be drawn to His light through the believers there.
