I’ve saved the hard part of the meeting for the end. There is no easy way to do this, so I’ll just get started. After much prayer and consideration, our family has decided to move back to the USA. I have accepted a position at a Nazarene church near Chicago. I will be an associate pastor, with an emphasis on missions and missional communities. We expect to leave in late February, and in the meantime, I’ll be helping our church here prepare for the transition.
After some of my teasing sermon illustrations in the past, I feel like I should take a moment now to say that this is not a joke or a clever lead-in for a point later. This is real. For the rest of this time, I want to talk about four basic points
- Why we are moving at this time
- Why we are moving to this place
- Some confirmations I’ve experienced
- What’s next for our KNU International English Church.
I hope these will answer most of your questions, but after I’m done we will take time for some questions as well.
