Alright, its been about 3 weeks, and things are just nuts! As I said last, we visited PC3, a pretty sweet mega church in the area that is really doing some awesome things! We left the service re-energized and pumped about the way things were going. Then, last Sunday we decided to head down to Lifepoint Church...they meet in Ashley High School in Wilmington, two services, and they're running about 750....3 YEARS OLD!!!! It's crazy...after the service we were introduced to Daryl...the guy I got in contact with over e-mail, who then proceeded to introduce us to Pastor Jeff! You've got to check this church and this guy out! lifepointnow.com and jeffkapusta.com Last night we attended one of their...for lack of a better word..."preview" services at their new Lifepoint Midtown campus across the street from UNCW. It was amazing, it was a total celebration of what God is doing in the church! They baptized like 20 people, and it was completely amazing, the spirit was everywhere!
That's just the half of it! Lifepoint contacted Sara and I 3 times after Sundays service...within 3 days, I'm supposed to meet with the staff for lunch here in the next week or so to give them the low down on us and what God's doing, just got a call from the youth guy at PC3 to meet in two weeks, and both me and Sara start new jobs this next week!
But I want to just give you an idea of how God has been working around us!
-Right after my last blog, I was pulled over by a Wilmington Sheriff's Deputy....talk about WELCOME TO NORTH CAROLINA! He slapped me with a "careless and reckless" ticket with a court date set in May. Come to find out, North Carolina has the strictest traffic laws in the country. Talked with the people at our apartment office to get some info, they hooked me up with a city police officer who lives on sight, he told me that the ticket was bogus, and after calling me back a couple days later, said he would accompany me to court as a character type witness and also gave me a contact to a local pastor he knew in Wilmington and thought it might be a cool connection!!! Just wait, it gets better!
-We decided we would look into getting our cars insured in NC to get all that JAZZ taken care of! Come to find out, the Insurance agent we randomly decided upon is a Christian who asked us where we were going to church, offered to escort us to their churches, and then told us to just pray to see where God would lead us in choosing insurance!?!? WHAT...does that happen?
-Then, today, after going to Best Buy and having Pastor Jeff of Lifepoint holler at us from down the aisle, and talking with him for a bit, and setting up vague lunch plans, we went to get a local bank account, and come to find out, the guy that was helping us was a missionary in Russia for a year after college, has been in ministry, and is now working at the bank and invited us to his church here in Wilmington!
If God's not at work here, I don't know what is going on! We're still waiting for some of the financial situations to pan out, and jobs to line up, but hey, it's going good so far! I'll keep you updated!
