Today the Thielenhaus finds themselves having been led by God to Centennial Colorado. Michelle and I are preparing to be officially "installed" as the Corps Officers (pastors). It was very hard leaving Alaska as we have invested the past 11 years of ministry into others and along side those we consider family. In the midst of heart-felt goodbyes one of the highest praise I could receive came from one officer mentioning me as the one who always had gospel tracts to give to others, and another officer noted my regularly praying with waiters and waitresses (and later leaving tracts) in order to share the love of God with them. I certainly don't know God's full plan and vision for the Centennial Corps just yet, but I do know that personally this next stage of my life should be one of ever increasing boldness to verbally share the gospel of Jesus Christ. I also know one of my primary duties as a corps officer is to be used by God to equip His people for works of service so that the body of Christ might be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. Lord help me lead by example and always be pointing others to you. Please show off Your Almighty power through this jar of clay.
May the Centennial Corps continue to build on the work of those who have gone before us, may we continue to grow to become a group of red hot Salvationists always looking for who God would have us share His love with each day.
May God be glorified!
Live holy, preach Jesus!
