Mine resigned some three years ago to go back to the mission field in the middle east. We had a guest speaker one Sunday from York, England. The next Sunday pastor Denny asked me how I liked the previous week's service and sermon. I replied that I though he spoke very well. To which Denny replied, "Good. He's going to be your new pastor. I wanted to tell you first owing to our friendship." I was floored. Some weeks later Mark (our new pastor) moved his family in and Denny moved on. He is now pastor of the expatriate church in Bahrain. Mark was a teacher at Calvary Chapel College in York and this has been his first pastorate. He has developed into a wonderful pastor. <br />Hang in there, as I'm sure you will. God has many ways of using whom-so-ever He pleases to do what-so-ever He pleases.George Luteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02548249589835864897noreply@blogger.com
