Time in Portland

I am a week away from another trip to Oregon. Our transition into the next phase of our ministry is becoming more and more real. This is bittersweet for me.

God has been very busy in our time here in Columbia. You are sending away a much better man that you received 21 years ago. God has done His work in me, and in my family, largely through your ministry to us over these years. Thank you for how He has used you in this. It is hard to leave those whom God has used.

Yet, we go to the ministry God is clearly calling us to undertake. We are excited about what He is already doing to lay the foundation for our next ministry. I am going to teach a seminar on Marriage next week in Eugene, Oregon, and a seminar on Relationships the following week in Vancouver, WA. Reports are that the seminars are going to be well attended and that folks are excited to come to hear how the gospel shapes our marriages and relationships. I enjoy helping folks see the gospel in the day to day reality of their lives!

Please pray for my family while I am away. They will be very busy, and if they miss me in their busy-ness it will likely be for what they are covering for me instead of my cheerful personality.
I am so grateful for their willingness to take up the slack.

Once again, if you would like to get more regular updates on our transition, send me an e-mail at Steve@ImpactBiblicalCounseling.com and I will gladly put you on the list for our updates!

gratefully,
Steve
