I will deffinitly keep you and Sherri in my prayers. The only drawback I can see to working with the Seattle church plant is that you would be investing your time, ideas, and energy in a church plant and then would suddenly not be there--that could be a hindrance to a team that has come to rely on you in even unconcious ways, but I'm sure you know more about that then I do. Keep us posted bro, take care. John, both options look exciting. I will deffinitly keep you and Sherri in my prayers.

That's awesome! It sounds like exactly what we've gone through in the past couple of months with the Missionary Church (mcusa.org), an organization that's over 100 years old with a history in the Mennonite Church. Since we've existed previously, they're considering it a "restart", which is basically alike a new church plant, only that we have a history. I would be more than happy to invite you to work with us, but I would want to pay you something, which isn't an option right now. Plus, we're rather untraditional when compared to most, but I have 7 years experience in a more traditional small church setting as well (as we were prior to Nadine and I being given the pastorate), as worship leader and assistant pastor. I'm not sure what they're looking for you to be involved in, but I would love to help if possible. MCUSA also has many other recent Church plants in this area, and they are totally cool with new plants who come out of a Missionary Church going with a different organization. Any way about it, our prayers are with you. It's almost humorous, as I feel like I'm reading one of my livejournal entries from the last couple of months. Wow. That’s awesome!
