New Ministry and Contact Information

Dear Friends,

We will begin our new ministry as Executive Director of Missions for the Blue River-Kansas City Baptist Association on October 1.  We are grateful to the Lord for His continued call on our lives and the opportunity to continue to work in making disciples in our new Jersualem, Judea, Samaria and to the ends of the earth.  

On October 7 Blue River-Kansas City Association will hold its annual meeting at First Baptist Church of Blue Springs, Missouri from 7-9pm.  I will be installed as their fifth Director of Missions that night as well.  If you happen to be within driving distance of Kansas City on October 7 I'd like to personally invite you to come.  If not, please pray the Lord will guide all the proceedings, begin the process of birthing his vision within us for the years to come and unify our hearts around His Mission.

The theme will be "Envision" and the annual meeting will begin  a process of evaluation, study, and envisioning together how the Lord would have us to move forward in this Association and in partnership with others in fulfilling the Great Commission and Acts 1:8 mandate.

We are also in the midst of moving into our new home and all the set up things involved in that and becoming new residents of a new neighborhood, county, state, etc.   Luke is doing well in his new school in 8th grade, we are blessed with great neighbors, a  wonderful home, a new puppy, one set of grandparents across town, and God's grace going before us.  We've even been able to see the Terrills and Combs families from CEE-IMB already here in KC and hope to see many other colleagues and friends in the months and years to come.  Please let us know if you will be in this area, going by Midwestern Seminary, or if we can assist you in some way.  

As of today we have our own internet service, home phone and are back on Skype as of today.  Below is our new home address and contact information with more to come later.  We will no longer have everyheart or other IMB email addresses going forward.  Please use contact information below.

We'd love to hear from you and especially want to invite you to come see us if you have opportunity to do so. The light will be on and a bed prepared for you to stay with us!

Rodney and Debbie,
Thanks so much for helping Don and Diane. You have been a blessing to them in their time of need.
May the Lord bless you as you begin your new ministry.

Rodney and Debbie:

We are praying the Lord's best for you in your new place of service.

Sounds like you are in the midst of much transition. God is good that He has worked all things together for good in finding a new place of ministry, new home, new school for Luke and all the other details.

We will continue to pray for you all and will look you up if we are ever in the KC area.

Blessings,
The Reeces

Glad to see the Lord has provided for you guys and for the Kansas City area work. I know you'll be a blessing to them as you have been to us.
