Dear Pastors, Supporting
Churches, Family and Friends,
This
is a letter I truly do not want to write but realizing that not all endeavors
for the Lord are successfully it is time to begin seeking another place to
serve the Lord other than church planting in Flagstaff, Arizona. I have discussed this with my sponsoring
Pastor Larry Jones and both of us agree that it is time to move on. Most of the
reason for not being able to get a work starting here is of course my fault. My
inexperience as a church planter made it difficult in places where others might
have been able to see their way clear. The economy and our finances kept us
from doing the outreach we needed or renting a place to invite people to come. Only
having the two of us, without other team members or our family was a greater
difficulty than either LeeOra or I thought it would be. Finally, my heart valve
giving out just as we both had part time jobs and were looking to rent a building
stopped us completely. After a several months long recovery I am well and
anxious to once again serve the Lord but knowing the difficulties and time
required to get things going again here, I do not feel it would be proper to
ask our supporting churches to continue to support the effort here in
Flagstaff.
I am extremely grateful for the love, prayers and
especially the patience of those who have supported us for so long. You have
sustained us both physically and spiritually. We truly seek your prayers now as
we begin to seek where the Lord would use us. LeeOra and I both greatly long to
be back in the Lord’s service in any way that He could use us. We are humbly
asking our supporting churches and friends to consider continuing our support
for a little longer as we fervently begin to search for a pastorate and then
move. We also would ask you to put our names to any church seeking a pastor if
you feel so led. We both believe we have many more years to give to the Lord
and desire to see Him use us in His service.
We both are very lonely for church fellowship and
services once again. Not being able to preach and teach every week has created
a great need in my heart to be once again doing those things in the Lord’s
Church. We long to sing in the congregation, teach Sunday School and of course
preach. These are very precious when you have been without them.
If you have any questions or need to contact us for any
reason we can be reached via e-mail at krisminefee@gmail.com or through Facebook or you can call us at 832
226-8419. Or you may contact our supporting church and Pastor Larry Jones at
Santa Fe Baptist in Santa Fe, Texas email ljones@santafebaptist.org. Again we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for
all that you have done and ask they you continue in your prayers for us and as
the Lord leads in your support for the next few months or so or until we can
find a place of service.
May God Bless,
Kris and LeeOra Minefee
