Thanks John. I’m sad to not be able to get to know you before you leave, but I trust the Lord will provide for you. This post is very good. This is a great approach to the daunting task of relocation and church searching. We’ll be praying that the Lord directs your family.

Thanks for sharing this part of your journey with us, John. You are a model I trust others, as led, will emulate. Oh, my, how you and your family will be missed at OGC.

I remember fondly the kind and wonderful way you ministered to young college kids when our daughter was one of those at OGC! You invited them to your pleasant apartment, where you lived before moving to our current lovely home. Great memories.
Other special memories include the special times at your current home serving with you on the Missons Committee.
It is way too sad to think of your leaving, so usually I frankly block it out and try not to even think about it…:(

I remember when you first started attending OGC as a young single man, engaged to Abby. We were in the same Sunday School class for a time and I was so impressed by your desire to know God and serve Him well. We were so excited to meet Abby when you brought her here after the wedding. I remember how sad I was when you both left for a short time but thankfully, returned to us. I was glad to see you befriend Evan and Daniel –playing chess, enjoying Lord of the Rings and games together. Although you have been through many changes, sorrows and trials, you have blossomed so much over the last 13+ years and our family has been blessed to know and love both you and Abby as well as James and Valor. We will miss you, not just for what you do for OGC but for who you have become in the Lord.
