Greetings to all my new brothers and sisters.
I just read a thread I believe started by Egraine about people posting here and never coming back. Hopefully I won't be one of those people but I admit I am new to Christian Forums and I am looking for a home or two online. I like what I have seen here so far and hope this will be a new online home for me.
I am looking for thoughtful and hopefully lively discussions on theology and doctrine, preferably done in a very encouraging way from all participants.
A little bit about my current status. I have felt called for several years that I should be working full time in the Lord's service. I have been making excuses for years as to why that is not viable yet; not ignoring it but continually putting it off. I have finally taken the plunge, quit my corporate job and I am looking for full time mission. Right now I have no idea what that looks like or what I need to do to get there. I have some ideas of what I would like to do but don't feel that I have a full and complete direction from the spirit (or at least not direction that I have been able to discern). I am looking for a mission for both my wife and I; we still have a 16 year old daughter at home with us. Currently what we are looking into is what it will take to become house parents for a boys/girls home of some kind.
Our preference is to work within a Christian organization but would be open to any non-profit where we would be able to witness and testify for the Lord.
Our Church background is Church of Christ but we are open to other denominations, the Spirit leads us in many different ways, there were many voices on the day of Pentecost.
If you are taking time to read this, thank you very much and I look forward to lively and open conversation.
In Christ,
HeIsOnFirst
