A Step of Faith...

Well...I've taken the step of faith I wondered if I would take again.  Yesterday was my last Sunday as pastor of Trinity Baptist...a congregation filled with people I dearly love and consider many of them best friends.  It has been a blessed six years.

...So what have I done?  I have stepped away from the security of a regular paycheck and placed my trust in God to open doors and provide opportunities for me to preach.  I am trusting God to provide for my needs and the needs of my family through the generosity of churches and individuals who feel led to support me in this adventure.

So, where will I be preaching this year?  I will preach where God opens the doors.  As of today I have a very busy spring.  I also have many dates already booked for the summer and fall.  Before pastoring Trinity I lived by "faith" like this for sixteen years as a traveling preacher.  I have found that while there are days when I'm fearful and anxious - on most days I have a greater confidence and assurance in knowing, without any interference from others, God is providing all I need.  I like it that way.

I need your prayers.  Some call a step like this "foolish."  I call it "faithful."  Pray that I will be faithful to what I believe God is leading me to do and where He leads me to go.  If you'd like more information about Michael Mason Ministries, Inc. I would be happy to answer your questions.  MM
