God Continues to Bless Us

The Lord tells us in Jeremiah 29:11 that "He knows the plans for us." He hasn't failed us yet. In December 2010, I completed my Master's degree in Secondary Education. It was a long and hard 3 years, but it was well worth it. The Lord continued to show us His will by revealing to Darren a calling. Darren felt called by the Lord to plant a church in the Talty/Terrell area and was confirmed when the Lord brought Todd Cox into his life. Todd and Darren both felt called to plant and church in the same area. To make a very long story short, we went through an almost 2 hour interview in December and then went through an assessment weekend by the BMAA Mission Directors in Little Rock, Arkansas. Darren and I were approved by the BMAA to be North American Missionaries to Kaufman County, Texas in April 2011.

As of right now, the church is coming together. Darren and Todd will both be pastors of The Refuge Church. They will both share the same decision making processes that are involved in starting a church. Darren and Todd will begin deputations in May to gain supporters financially and prayerfully. We are so excited about this new journey that the Lord is taking us on and we can't wait to get started sharing the love of Christ to the residents of the Kaufman County area.
