Greetings, 

I have been listening to Pastor Craig lecture on the doctrine of salvation the past couple of days at a Youth With A Mission school. I love how the Lord brought us together. I feel humbled and honored to be doing ministry together with a guy as wise and as smart as Craig. We have a tremendous amount of wisdom in our fellowship. So many of you have a deep and rich understanding of God. You take risks and follow the Lord even when it doesn’t make sense. You give to each other so freely and there is a growing love between the people in our fellowship that is going to inevitably cause people around us to long to have what we have in fellowship. It is so humbling to be your pastor and to learn from each of you as we grow together. 

I really hope that you know how much you are appreciated and how blessed we are to have you as a part of our fellowship. If you begin to notice that you are not participating in fellowship, please know that is exactly where Satan wants you to be. Each of us has a part to play in the unity and the development of Way of Life. So I want to encourage you to take time to really get to know each other. I think you’ll be blessed. I know that I have been as I have gotten to know many of you really well.
