Soul Friends

"What would be an adequate thanksgiving to offer God for all the joy we experience before him because of you?"

Loving God. Loving your neighbor. It works.

I have a buddy who is visiting New England for the next several days, looking to possibly plant a church for young adults. His name is Josh and he is one of my soul friends. He's on a mission and I wholeheartedly support him. Please pray for the Spirit to speak to him and our synod leaders as they explore this basically uncharted territory in the Lutheran church.

I also have 10 soul friends I'll be missioning with next week:
Sue
Suzanne
Andrew
Emily
Karl
Karla
Miranda
Mike
Marco
John

In the sometimes cheesy sounding words of Michael W Smith, "Friends are friends forever if the Lord's the Lord of them." Paul didn't know if he would ever see his sisters and brothers in Christ again. Sue and I won't see you this Sunday either, but in no time we will be together again.
