The Great Adventure

06.08.05 I commence on a 27 hour, 2 day trip from Fort Worth, TX to the new apartment in Garfield, NJ. Along the way, I visit Oren and Cindy in Louisville (which was a treat)! Leaving Angela for two weeks has been incredibly tough, so please pray for our marriage and our relationship with the Lord. She is under contract and can't come until July. On June 28, I will fly to Texas, and we will move all of our stuff to NJ. Please pray for our ministry as we focus on reaching 18-30 year olds with the gospel of Jesus Christ! As for naming our ministry, we are praying about calling it "The Well". The well is a place where people can come and meet a wonderful, glorious Savior and Lord who is the only source of water that doesn't cause you thirst again. Once you taste water from the living well, water from broken cisterns just isn't enough. We will keep you updated on our decision. Please let us know what you think.

For His glory,
Justin

"How sweet all at once for me to bid of those fruitless joys which i had once feared to lose. You drove them from me, You who are the true, the sovereign joy. You drove them from me and took thier place, you who are sweeter than all pleasure".--Augustine

Thanks for the nice complement (I've never been considered a "treat" before!). The encouragement was mutual in the short time we had together and I am anxious to see how our sovereign and good Father will use you in His kindgom for His glory. It is so good and reassuring to know that Christ is building His kingdom and the gates of hell will not overcome it. As ministers it makes our load that much lighter knowing that our responsibility is to live, teach, and preach the glorious gospel.
