The silence is broken

Wow it has been a long time since my last post, and a lot has happened in our lives since that last one so I don't think that I will write about it all.

I have kinda been "wandering in the wilderness" a little the last few months trying to decide what it is God wants me to do. I have experienced a bunch of peaks and valleys these past few years trying to find my own personal ministry niche and now I am a bit hesitant to just jump right in to the next new thing. I am beginning to think that this is what God has for me though.

Since January 2009 I have been volunteering as the North East representative for a ministry called Solid Rock Climbers for Christ (SRCFC). I just hosted the National conference here in the Adirondacks a couple of weeks ago and it went well. It was during that conference that God began confirming in my heart that this is the ministry that He is calling me to.

SRCFC is a ministry focused on climbers. Its goals are to:
1. Share the good news about Jesus Christ with climbers who have never heard it or haven't considered applying to their lives personally.
2. Encourage climbers who are followers of Christ in their spiritual walk.
3. Train Christian climbers how to effectively minister to their own local climbing community.

I am planning to continue to work to pay my bills but I will be raising some financial support to cover ministry costs.

Please pray specifically for this coming weekend Sept 11-13 as we are hosting the 2nd annual Southern Adirondack Rock Climbers Festival. It looks like it is going to be well attended and will allow us to make contacts with many climbers. Pray for open doors of opportunity for ministry.
