So much has happened with our family over the past couple of months. It is hard to keep up with it all at times. A new chapter has begun in the life of the Stephens family as we moved to Fulton, Missouri to begin serving as the Lead Pastor at FBC Fulton, MO. This is a transition that our family has been praying about for a little while.
There has been a burden for the Midwest of the USA for a couple of years now. We have prayed over this area and even visited different places in the Midwest to see what God was up to. We had no clue that God would pull our family up out of the deep South and call us to this place, but we are excited about the opportunities.
Around October 2018, God began to put a vision on my heart about what the church should be like and the direction it should go. I shared that vision with some leaders of the church that we were serving with. It was agreed that these were good things, just not sure that it was the direction they were wanting to go at the time. What we have found in our “new home” is that God had been working on FBC Fulton to go in much the same direction as we were feeling led.
We miss many of those that we have been serving with over the past few years, but God continues to reaffirm that here in Fulton, MO is exactly where He wants us, and that is the place that we want to be. We are looking forward to what God is going to do both here at FBC Fulton and back where we came from at Bethany Baptist Church. We know that God has a mighty plan. If we will follow that, we will get to be part of something that can only be explained as His work.
