A Beautiful Community

Wow! I ran across this video in my tool bar in my browser. It's Watershed's 3rd Anniversary Video. I was reminded of the beauty of this community. I received a phone call from Oscar a several months back from somewhere in Tennessee. Oscar is the gentleman getting baptized in the video at the beginning. He called to make sure our community knew he had completed 6 months of rehab and had been sober for close to 8 months. He wanted to make sure Tim Abare knew the impact he had on his life. Blair Miller continues to be a close friend and has embraced Jesus in his life. Julie Walker, and her husband Kevin are in Korea picking up Elliot, their second child and internationally adopted son. They return next week. Their family has been a part of Watershed since day one. Kayla George and her husband Jonathan are preparing to return from Malawi after spending the past year there working in areas of poverty and education. Sal Rando, the first person we met when we moved to Charlotte, He, his wife April and their family continue to be a part of Watershed. I saw Sal this week at Tom Rogers wake. He and his family have been impacted deeply by the relationships of this community. Just ask him about it.

I love this community and what God continues to do in so many lives. And I look forward to the days ahead as the stories increase and the mercy, justice and love of God's kingdom continues to expand in and through Watershed.
