Call Decision
8-10-14
Today we announced to both Lamb of God and Trinity that we believe God is leading us to accept the call to Trinity. After 13 wonderful years at Lamb of God in Flower Mound, Texas Linda and I believe that now God is calling us to a new part of His vineyard - Trinity Lutheran Church in Frankfurt, Germany.
Lamb of God has been a wonderful congregation. Our kids have become young men and a young woman in this place. Three have married and have kids now. Our youngest is studying at Concordia University Wisconsin and is going to Germany this fall on an internship. Three of our parents were called home to heaven while we served here. The people of God at Lamb of God loved us through it all.
Our Lord has done incredible things here during these thirteen years. LOG has built out the facility. The youth ministry has doubled and LOG had many young people go into full time ministry in God's kingdom. The music ministry has a great variety of ensembles and the congregation is adding a pipe organ. They have become a congregation of people deeply involved in the Study of God's Word. The ECM is known for its excellence in education. LOG has added a vital children's and Care Ministries, Praise be to The Lord for this place. Now the congregation looks forward to a new adventure in God's kingdom.
Trinity is a diverse English speaking congregation in an international community. Many from there who have corresponded with us during this process have called Trinity their "family away from home." They have a wonderful music ministry, an incredibly gifted staff, a vital children's and youth ministry. Please keep us in your prayers as we prepare for this next phase in God's work.
