As most of you know I have been trying to determine what to do with Wednesday night when I am gone for General Council meetings. Our speaker will be Matt Lee from Steelville, MO.
Here is the story. At District council I was asked to introduce the Sunday School teacher of the year at the annual Christian Education breakfast. Matt was the winner and so I met him and we had breakfast. We also found that we had a lot of mutual friends like his pastor Jerry Beers. We met up again on Monday and I asked him about things and he indicated that he had completed the license classes for becoming an Assembly of God minister. It took two years. He said he was looking for opportunities to minister and that the sectional presbyter was beginning to place him in positions filling in for pastors and as an interim pastor at some churches.
Matt is his church Sunday a.m. worship leader, the Royal Ranger Outpost Commander and teaches an adult Sunday School class. He currently owns and operates Lee Masonry, a contracting business out of Steelville. I love to see faith in action. Matt is a guy who is considering the transition from business owner to Pastor. That kind of move takes faith and prayer. Pray for Matt and for next weeks service with him. Let's also commit to pray with and for Matt regarding God's plan for ministry! His story is really exciting.
