It’s Official

Well. . .it’s official. On June 1, 2007 ManHeart Ministries become a full-time ministry. This past Sunday (May 13) I resigned my position as Adult Education and Singles Pastor at First Baptist North Mobile. I will remain here on staff until the end of May 31, at which point I will move from “minister” status to “member” status.

This has been a journey in the process. I have been praying about this for several months now and believe this is God’s plan for me and ManHeart Ministries. I am very encouraged by the response I have received from members of North Mobile and others as I share the vision of the ministry.
So how am I doing? I’m scared! Actually, I’m scared out of my wits. Many people have shared how they admire my faith. Then again, it’s not them jumping off the cliff onto the invisible bridge, ala Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade. As I shared with the congregation on Sunday, God has really been challenging me about stepping out and believing in Him alone. I ran across this quote not too long ago during my study on faith and God has used it to remind me that He alone is to be God.

“It’s not faith until it’s all you have to hold on to.”

So. . .with all the faith I can muster I am stepping out to pursue God’s calling for this new ministry. Please pray for me, the ministry, and those God is calling to come alongside me as my leadership team.

Feel free to contact me or leave me a comment.

Mike
