a ministry footprint

Ministry is about footprints.

No two ministry couples are the same; the pattern they follow and the imprint they make are different--as different as the Spirit's gifts which they embody.

On the shores of life, the pastor and his wife walk together, hand in hand, inviting others along on the the journey with Christ. The castles they build along the way are subject to the waves, but the impact of their lives is grounded on the Rock.

Just as Jesus left His prints for us to follow, we are to leave a set of tracks behind us that point the way, not to a sandy beach, but to a heavenly destination.

May the path of our ministry lead to an ever deeper knowledge of Christ.

But the path of the just is like the shining sun,
That shines ever brighter unto the perfect day. (Proverbs 4:18, NKJV)
