You all have received a short announcement in your church mailbox that this will be my final year as Youth Coordinator at ARC. (Please refer to the announcement for potential transition timelines.) I want to thank you for giving me the opportunity to serve here at ARC! I especially want to thank everyone who reached out through acts of great kindness and humility towards my family and me. You are greatly appreciated! I pray this is the beginning of an eternal friendship.
May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. [2Co 13:14 NIV]
The apostle Paul ends his letter to the church in Corinth by passing on the three most powerful principles in the Bible: 1) Grace of the Lord Jesus Christ. 2) Love of God. 3) Fellowship of the Holy Spirit.
It gives me great solace to know that God used a man like Paul who was once a persecutor of the church and a bunch of imperfect rag tag disciples to turn the world upside down through teaching these three simple, yet powerful principles.
It is my prayer that when my time here at ARC has ended, my ministry is remembered as being a passionate attempt to promote these same life-saving principles and not my human imperfections. You are in my prayers and I am excited to see where Jesus will lead ARC as you walk and dance in His Spirit.
God bless you all!
