Dear Bonsack Family, In March 2010, I accepted the invitation from Bonsack to come on staff as part of this wonderful ministry team. Since that time I’ve been blessed by the excellent pastors, staff, members and ministries that make up our church. About two years ago, Christy and I began to sense that God would be leading us to make a transition in ministry. Basically, I was feeling a clear call and a growing desire to pursue more of a pastoral leadership role. We didn’t understand what that might look like, but we knew that it could mean we would be leaving Bonsack. So we began earnestly seeking the Lord and thinking seriously about how we could be both open to where God was leading us and faithful to the ministry He had entrusted to us. Several months ago, I entered into a conversation with Mineral Springs Baptist Church about serving as Associate Pastor. On January 11, 2015, they extended a call for me to be their Associate Pastor. Prayerfully, I have accepted their call. Leaving Bonsack is one of the most difficult decisions our young family has ever faced. We are both excited and sad! Our conversations and prayers have been filled with recollection of our love for the church, the church’s love for us, and the powerful grace of God displayed in the ministry we have shared together. I owe special debts of gratitude to Barry Green and Pastor Bob Robert G. Moore III. They have been great mentors to me. Barrys example of Christ-like excellence has enriched both my life and my ministry. And Pastor Bobs commitment to nurturing healthy marriages and families will continue to encourage me for many years to come. During these past five years, God has blessed my family with many edifying relationships. Our church has been the hands and feet of Christ to us. When I was called here to Bonsack, it was through some people in our church that I essentially inherited the parents and grandparents I desperately needed. When I was ordained, our church gave me a perfect blend of encouragement and accountability. When Christy and I were married, many of you celebrated with us. And as we embarked on the journey of becoming parents, you joyfully encouraged us and showered us with guidance and love. We are forever grateful for the way we have been cared for and supported here at Bonsack! My last Sunday as a minister at Bonsack Baptist will be 2/22/15. That evening we will have a time of worship in our Sanctuary at 6:30pm. I look forward to that time with you! Christy and I want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for sharing your lives with us. We can only imagine what God has in store! Please know of our continued love for Bonsack and our prayers for this church family and its future. “Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in every way. The Lord be with you all.” (2 Thessalonians 3:16)
