A New Day in Hamtown!

My pastor blogged this afternoon about the transition we have made here in Hamtramck at REAL Church.  I thought I would give a few thoughts from my end.  I was installed as the campus pastor for Hamtramck, as he pursues God’s will in planting a church for midtown Detroit.  This church which he, his wife, and 8 others planted 5 years ago, they have now entrusted our team to lead this church and pastor this city.

  • I’m so grateful for the team we have here in Hamtramck.  I get to minister to the people of our city, with FRIENDS!  They are not only amazing ministers of God’s Gospel, but also truly humble, encouraging, loving friends!
  • I was SOOOO nervous today as I preached my first message as the campus pastor.  But when I got to the part where I shared about Jesus and what He did to save us – the Holy Spirit spoke clearly and strongly through me.  And Jesus saved people today! Nothing better.
  • I’m honored to have a Pastor who believes in people.  I believe in him and follow him in the vision God has for Detroit.  I pray that the Midtown Miracle is right around the corner.
  • Tomorrow, it’s back to work as a teacher.  I can’t thank God enough for a job in our city, working with the kids and parents of our city.  Working a full time job and ministering in the other times has restored my passion for Jesus and His Church in the last 2 years.
  • I’m so grateful for my wife – she is so amazing and I love what God is doing in her as she leads REPO and as my wife.  She is so beautiful, daring, and loving.

To Jesus be the GLORY – He is so awesome!  His church is being built and the gates of Hell will NOT prevail.

    So glad to be a part of the Hamtown team, under great leadership, and serving with friends. I’m excited to see what all God is going to do & how he’s going to continue the midtown (and elsewhere!) miracle(s)!

    TJ!!! I AM SO PUMPED to hear this! I so glad that you guys are still at the #1 school in Hamtramck, and I’m so glad that you’re in such a real, impacting position to reach ‘my kids’ on an everyday basis. :) Be blessed in your new role, and know that you guys are in my prayers to reach this awesome place for Jesus. :) So excited for what God is doing…
