I wanted to bring you all up-to-date on Herron family changes since last summer.
THE LIGHTHOUSE...
...is where I work now. Our family transitioned out of our previous church over the summer - - and hear me on this, we are FOR them and cheering them on! God simply has a different plan for our family.
Right now, it involves serving through The Lighthouse, a neurological rehabilitation center that specializes in helping minister to individuals who have endured traumatic brain injuries. I love helping people! My role involves helping to sharpen and amplify The Lighthouse's public presence (marketing, advocacy, etc). I get to work alongside an awesome team and LOVE what I'm doing.
OUR FAMILY...
...is doing great after a season of back surgeries (back-to-back back surgeries!), downsizing to one little dog (goodbye Wonder Pug, hello Slinky the mini-daschund!), and settling into our new house in Caro, Michigan. Little J enjoys his daily Young 5's Kindergarten classes while Amber is working in nearby Frankenmuth.
A NEW PROJECT...
Amber and I really resonate with the biblical story of Elijah, seeing God perform mightily in our midst. Over the past two years, we have led a style of ministry that helped result in 328 people receiving Christ and 135 taking their faith public through baptism. Unbelievable.
What's always grabbed me in the Scriptures is how during a move of God, Elijah takes a break. Kind of abruptly. With no warning.
After resting under a broomtree and being ministered to by angels, the Lord tells Elijah what to do next.
Our family definitely feels the love from many angels in our life these past few months (but that's another story for another time!), and God has given us a dream that we've been praying over. Through the confirmation of Scripture and the blessing of godly wisdom from many pastors we admire and trust, we know exactly what our next step in ministry is.
Our heartbeat is seeing people far from God coming face-to-face with the Son of God throughout the region. Amber and I are absolutely passionate about reaching the lost at any cost.
DETAILS...
We'd be honored to have you along for this new journey. We'll be sharing all the details first through our email blast on November 28th. Go ahead and sign up for the E*Blast here. Don't worry, we won't spam your inbox. We'll just be sharing news via E*Blast first.
In the meantime, thank you for your prayers for our family, your continued encouragement, and being part of our unfolding story.
And hang on. It's going to be a fun ride together...
