This has been a long time coming, but we can finally be a bit more open about the decisions we have been praying through for the past several months. Some of you know that we have been praying about a position that Jerry has been offered at a church in the Atlanta area. We spent many months praying and listening intently and feel that we have a clear word from God. Jerry has accepted the position of Pastor of Creative Arts at The Church @ The Ridge in Hiram, GA. It is a wonderful church with a terrific leadership team and people who love God. We will be moving there in July.
For our Vegas friends we want to assure you this is not a decision that we made lightly or quickly. We truly believe that this is the next step God has for our whole family and we are excited to follow Him in this faith adventure. Believe us when we say, it is a hard thing to leave behind the incredible friendships we have made here. You are all amazing!!! The love you have shown to our family and the investment you have made in us and our children will never be forgotten. We can truly say that following God to Las Vegas was one of the most enriching and wonderful experiences of our lives. And now we look forward expectantly as He leads us to our next stop on the Journey.
Please pray for us as we try to get our house ready to sell. We are asking Him for wisdom in this... and a good real estate agent! :-) Seriously, we are trusting that the same God who supplied our every need 7 years ago when we first moved here will provide for us again. We believe that we are being obedient to His call and that He will honor that to His glory!
We feel so blessed to have so many dear friends on both ends of the country who have stood by us and prayed for us. We love you and look forward to the Day when we can all be together forever in Heaven!
"For God is my witness, how I yearn for you all with the affection of Christ Jesus. And it is my prayer that your love may abound more and more, with knowledge and all discernment, so that you may approve what is excellent, and so be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God." (Phil. 1:8-11)
Stay tuned for more news as we get closer to our final days in Las Vegas...
Jerry, Cheryl, Erik, Whitney & Wil Davison
