So how did a middle school student change the life of friend? It’s simple, they invited them to church. Last night we had an event we call MERGE. MERGE is simply a time where we invite students to invite their friends to come and hear the life changing message of the Gospel.
Been reading ‘Spiritual Leadership’ by J. Oswald Sanders. Chapter 7 proposes an interesting dilema. The author states,

One year ago today we were packing up the van to head north…literally. It’s been a fast paced first year in North Carolina. Our family has enjoyed every minute of it. When you know you are where God wants you, you can be content with just about anything…seriously. I wanted to use this post to highlight a few things from this past year:
1. Kelli and I celebrated 8 years of marriage, and had one of the best meals of all time ROOSTERS KITCHEN (thanks Matt Hoag for the recommendation).
2. We have had the opportunity to be a part of a fantastic Church led by Pastor Rob!
3. I have watched my wonderful…super hot wife become an awesome teacher (teaching two of our 4 kids), great photographer, and wonderful cook.
4. Have stepped along side a bunch of students who love Jesus and have committed their lives to growing closer to Him.
5. Have gotten the opportunity to know a bunch of wonderful people I call staff buddies. Seriously…these people all ROCK!
6. Have learned a lot about faith, community and loving the lost.
7. Have had the opportunity to co-minister along some of the best volunteers. I would go to war with these folks!
8. Found one of the best taco trucks ever.
9. Got introduced to one of the most ferocious ‘demon’ bugs ever…thanks NC…my wife really appreciates this one!
Seriously, for those of you who took time to read this far I appreciate it. Kelli and I are honored to be at Southbrook Church…honored to call North Carolina home and looking expectantly towards the future.
