Update from "The Bridge"

Dear Pastors,

We are excited to share with you the name of the new Wesleyan Church in Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh is known as the city of bridges. There are a total of 446 bridges in the city, it holds the world record for the most bridges in one city. There is one bridge that is most important and that's the bridge from God to man through His Son Jesus. We want to point the people of Pittsburgh to the most important bridge they will ever cross; thus, the name "The Bridge."

Our family has moved and are settling in. Already we are seeing how God is opening doors for us. We believe that God is on the move.

God is bringing together a launch team to work with us. We can see God at work in this and we give Him praise.

A big answer to prayer is that we have someone to act as our treasure for the district until we can get our church established. Tammy Leonard who along with her husband Brian served a year with us in Africa. Tammy has agreed to be the treasure for our new church. We are excited to have the Leonards be a part of our church in this way. This has been a God thing as He has brought this about. From now on checks for our support can be made out to The Bridge and sent to:
The Bridge
c/o Tammy Leonard
264 Shawville Hwy.
Woodland, PA 16881

Prayer request:
1. Pray for the Gomze's and ourselves as we travel on weekends to churches sharing our vision for The Bridge and raising support. Support is coming in slowly but we know that God is in control. If your church is planning on sending support it would be a great help to us by letting us know how you intend to be a partner with us.

2. Pray for the Gomze's as they make plans to move. Sarah needs to find a job and they need to find a renter or buyer for their house.

3. Pray for the people that God wants us to reach out to. Pray that when we look around us we'll see what Jesus sees and we'll hear what Jesus hears. May our hearts be broken for the things that break the heart of God.

We covet your prayers and partnership with us in this ministry. If we aren't scheduled to be at your church and you would like us to come and share please contact me. We can't do this alone. We need the help of the district churches. Together we believe we can see a new Wesleyan Church in Pittsburgh.
