Bitter Sweet

This past month has been very bitter sweet. As I prepare to leave Santa Rosa after 22 years and Spring Hills after 16 years, I am quite sad. I love my church, and have been blessed to know so many wonderful people as I have seen it grow from about 200 to approximately 1500 in average weekly attendance.

I have had the privilege of working side by side with the best church staff on the planet and the most wonderful group of volunteers in any organization I have ever seen. It is very hard to say good bye to family, friends and co-workers at both Spring Hills and Christian Counseling Associates.

That was the sad part. The sweet part is what lies on the other side.

When I first realized that the Lord was calling me to pastor a church, I had no idea that he would call me to such an awesome little town like Charlestown, NH. There is a great need for a healthy church there, and God has given me an overwhelming passion to reach that community for Christ. It has been very sweet to have that vision grow so strong and to have the support of my family and friends as we get ready to launch.

I am also very grateful for the job He has given me. For those of you who don't know, I will be doing mental health counseling in a prison in order to pay the bills. I expect this job to be both exciting and challenging, while also allowing me the time I need to launch the church.

Please pray for the Krulish Clan as we adjust to this new life. We will do our best to keep you up to date on life in a small town and on what God is doing as we begin this new work in the "Live Free or Die" state.
