On Sunday July 17th we were invited to lead worship in Garland, TX at 1st @ Firewheel A/G. It was really exciting for us for a number of reasons. Our area director who we’ll be working under in England used to be the youth pastor there several years ago and the current president of SAGU was the associate pastor. Meredith’s aunt and uncle used to attend for much of the time that they lived in the area as well.
Also, the current associate pastors, Ken and Jeannie Morris were the 1st AG missionaries to the UK (in Scotland) and if it had not been for them we may not be in the position we are today to go as missionaries to London. Not only were they pioneers ahead of us but they also played an instrumental role in our journey to become missionaries. We met with them in February and shared our heart for England and they gave us support, encouragement, and sound advice about how to pursue our dream. Thank you Ken and Jeannie!
Finally, our close friends Ted & Michelle Wallace (Meredith's sister) were able to come with their 4 kids and we got a really nice photo of our boys with a couple of their boys (they also have an 11 year old daughter and a new born baby boy) who they consider to be their best friends ;)
During worship, God really moved and I was so encouraged to see such a diverse group of people going after God wholeheartedly. After worship we were able to share our vision and heart for England and the church blessed us with a generous missions offering. Then, God really used Pastor Hanks to deliver His message for the people with boldness and conviction. I truly believe that God has great things in store for 1st @ Firewheel!
Thanks for reading and pray for us to be able to raise our support quickly so we can get to England as soon as possible.
