Can a woman forget her nursing child, that she should have no compassion on the son of her womb? Even these may forget, yet I will not forget you. Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are continually before me. Your builders make haste; your destroyers and those who laid you waste go out from you. Lift up your eyes around and see; they all gather, they come to you. As I live, declares the Lord, you shall put them all on as an ornament; you shall bind them on as a bride does.
Isaiah 49

SABBATICAL ANNOUNCEMENT: Pastor Jeff has a long history of faithful service to the Lord and our congregation. After serving as a Global Partner for many years overseas, he has served on staff since 2007, most recently as our Senior Associate Pastor. We are honored and blessed to be able to allow him a three-month sabbatical beginning in February, in accordance with our sabbatical policy for Pastors. Pastor Jeff will use this time to rest and refresh – spiritually and physically; prepare for future equipping of the body in the Great Commission and Global Ministries; and make in-person visits with Global Partners and organizations. When Jeff returns from sabbatical in May, he will take on a part-time role as Associate Pastor of Global Ministries, allowing him to focus on our Global Partners and our ministries to the ends of the earth. During this time, please keep Pastor Jeff and Linda in your prayers, asking the Lord to continue to work in and through them.
