There is a comfort in the reality we cannot do this without the blessing and hand of God.

As we (Matt and Mary Ruth) get off the ground and start moving towards Evansville, IN to join Journey242 there are things that we are trying to wait patiently for the Lord on.

There are things that we are, very simply, having to trust and wait that God will provide and guide:

1) Our house needs to sell! There is little we feel we can do until it does sell.


2) We need provisions for the family! As we join the planting team, we are limited by what we can actually contribute until we get the family settled and provided for. We believe it's likely we will have at least part time work, but possibly even full time.


3) Continued unity and vision for how to share about salvation in Jesus death and resurrection! But also a passion for the lost and the request that the Spirit of God lead and guide us as we obey him by teaching and baptizing.
We know the journey will be long. But we are encouraged by the reality that it was God in Acts 2 that brought the people. We simply live our lives going into the world and sharing the Gospel by obediently-loving and "teaching everything He has commanded."

We have alot of work ahead of us!

Matt,
I am excited to hear that you and your family are moving to Evansville. I think you will be very blessed here and we are blessed to have such a great person and pastor. Plus I know your mom and dad are going to enjoy those little ones as well.
See you guys this weekend, I can't wait to meet your wife and your children, have a wonderful week!!!
