Panic comes to mind when we were looking for churches to spend time of sweat and tears in. Mick actually interviewed in a church in Cincinnati where he would have been a junior high worship leader.. They acted like we were getting it and then they dropped us! The funny part was when they emailed Mick like 4 months later,they didn’t remember him and asked him for an interview.. needless to say..they needed better PR skills.
Then we interviewed with another church in Indiana. Another, hopeful church in a dinky town where hunting was a great past time. As you can tell, Mick might of fit in nicely with those bright orange coats and camoflauge outfits! haha He did connect with the main preacher really well though. We did some more investigating and that church had some leadership problems as well as a very old, stuffy church mentality.
Finally, As Mick was emailing his mentor for more ideas.. A little man with a big voice caught Micks attention. Matt was looking to launch a church real soon. So Mick and I visited and met with Lance,Summers, and other Summers. A very quick interview, and pretty quick visit.. Not more than a week later, Matt asked us to come to his church to stay! It was exciting to have somewhere to be and now Mick’s year anniversary just passed. (Mine is in a couple months)!!! We appreciate this church and all the people in it!
So I guess the third times a charm!
I am definitely happy with where we ended up.
