A Brief Word to the Saints at Compass

According to Solomon, there's a time and a season for every event under heaven.  This includes ministry transitions. Like everything in life that involves tearing and breaking, they are usually painful.  The adventure of stepping out in faith is mingled with the reality that the familiar and comfortable has fallen by the wayside and what is new and unpredictable lies ahead.

This is certainly how we feel as the Lord calls us on to a church planting ministry with Harvest Bible Fellowship. While we are excited about the next chapter God is writing in our life, we are sad to leave friends and ministry relationships behind. We love Compass and are confident that God will bless the ministry in this dark and spiritually needy part of Orange County. In the time to come, we hope to hear many great reports.

While we would have relished the opportunity to say so in person, we want Compass to know that we loved the opportunity to serve and were greatly blessed by the body. Whether at another ministry station during our earthly pilgrimage, or in the heavenly city, we know our next reunion with all of you will be a great one!

Love in Christ,

Bent and Alys
