May 2022
As I closed last month’s newsletter, we were newly on the ground in Ocean Springs (well, in a borrowed house in Biloxi for now)….and we were anticipating an April that was going to be crazy, busy, and hectic. Boy, were we right! April was great, but it was non-stop, and it was filled - Filled with preaching in churches, presenting the vision for evangelism-based church planting in Ocean Springs, attending a conference in Memphis, and even a trip back to Birmingham where Stephanie and I packed up my mom and moved her down to Biloxi to her new home in a senior living / retirement community here on the coast. All of those were good things, wonderful things, and I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to visit and to share and to see God build this team. But I was also gone, on the road, more than I was present or “home” in Ocean Springs this past month. And so the month felt hectic and exhausting.
