now what?

the season is changing and so is life.

Matt got MARRIED!!!! Woot Woot!! We are so excited for him and his wife. They are so wonderful and we are looking forward to seeing how God uses them and their marriage. Matt's wife, Tori, is in the Air Force and is stationed in Hawaii. So the next season of their life is in Hawaii.

Don't worry, Matt isn't getting kicked out of Gospel Coffee. But his availability and involvement in the ministry is going to look different. It's okay to cry, we have too.

But really, we have because Matt means so much to us and the ministry and life that God has allowed us to live together is SUCH a blessing. We don't take any of it for granted.

We aren't exactly sure what life and ministry will look like this fall/ winter. God hasn't told us to stop, so we'll keep up the work. Gospel Coffee and GO Worship will continue. We have no current travel plans for Gospel Coffee. However, we are working to get more coffee from Indonesia and Mexico. Gospel Coffee is steadily growing, praise God, so we can support the missions more and more. The Crew will continue to lead worship with GO Worship at local churches and events.

We have been in this transitional limbo for the past couple of weeks and it will most likely continue for a bit after Matt leaves. And, honestly, it can feel a little chaotic at times. During these times, it's really important to reflect and remember the truth.

God has done so so much. From the start of Gospel Coffee until now, He has shown Himself in so many beautiful and unbelievable ways. The Dove Story, Walter, and even the newest timeline of the Oaxaca Bible. And on top of the big stories, there are the "smaller" moments where it's like God is winking at us. I mean, Britnee is contacted by so many random people (to us, but not to God) regularly. Connections are made and it's just absolutely remarkable. Words cannot accurately depict the intricacies of how great our God is and how precise and perfect the plan He is working on truly is.

And we are just thankful! Thankful to be Kingdom workers. Thankful to be called His children. Thankful to get to bear the good news of Jesus Christ. Thankful to be Gospel Coffee.

Thankful for Matt. Thankful for Tori.

So to Matt + Tori. We love you guys. We are proud of you. We miss you. But He is sending you and we are partnering with you. We are united with you in Christ and will remember you in our prayers. Now, you get to go.

"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

Remember, He is with you.

Shalom from the Gospel Coffee Crew
