Prayer is so powerful, and we have seen many of your prayers answered!
Thank you for the prayers regarding the loss of Eric's grandma. Grandma will be missed, but she's not gone - just gone before to heaven! The service was beautiful and worshipful. Grandma would have been really proud of Eric; he did a great job with his funeral message. The gospel was clearly presented, Eric spoke from the heart, and Grandma's life was celebrated. Grandma is at peace now!
Please continue to pray for Eric's family in the months to come.
Also, pray for us as we meet with a church this weekend . . .
On August 31, 2008, Eric received an email from Kennesaw First Baptist Church about whether he was still interested and available for the opening at their church for College and Discipleship Pastor.
At the end of October, Eric completed a questionnaire for the church.
On January 13th the pastor of the church called Eric.
On January 15th the head of the search committee called Eric.
On January 18th we had a phone interview with the search committee. That week the committee called Eric's references.
On January 31st the church flew us down for the day to have an interview. About a week later the head of the committee called us to let us know that they feel like Eric is God's man for the job; we feel the same way.
The church has continued to stay in touch with us. We will be meeting with various groups from the church this weekend:
Friday night - meet with the staff
Saturday - morning (meet with the Sunday school teachers), afternoon (meet with whoever from the church wants to see us), evening (meet with the college students)
Sunday - Eric will give his testimony in both services as well as teach the college class
Please pray that the Holy Spirit will be at work in all parts of this weekend. Pray that God will be honored in all conversations, that the church will know how to vote, and that God will speak through Eric in the service and in Sunday school.
We are so excited to see what God continues to do with this open door! We will keep you posted!

You guys made front page news!!! Praying for you guys!
We recognized the face of the worship pastor at the church. He left my sister's church in Fort Mill, SC to answer the call there...small world!
We've been praying all week. So glad that the funeral went well; We are so proud of you, Eric!
And we loved the write-up about you on the FBC website. How impressive and true!
Praying for you all this weekend. May God go before you and grace you with His presence and peace. We sure do love you and can't wait to get that phone call from you on Sunday afternoon!
