What it says it does

In the last 6 years of being in England and ministering in the UK and Europe, we have spent much of our time ministering and teaching in Bible schools. This last year, we felt a shift in our hearts, and we started ministering mostly in local churches. As we shared with you previously, we felt the calling to be pastors, and were making plans to start a church in Berkshire, England, where we have been living since moving to the UK. Then to our surprise, in the fall we were extended the offer to be the pastors of GoChurch Bradford, 4 hours north of us. We felt God say "yes! and we felt much peace as we answered "yes!" right back.Sometimes God moves in 'suddenlys', and we have found ourselves 'suddenly' moving! We moved today, in fact! We will be installed as the pastors of our new church this Sunday. We feel overwhelmed with peace and joy in this transition. God has provided for us a wonderful home in Bradford that we look forward to using to gather church members and community. When Rose
