A couple of weeks ago pastor Terry Jobe felt impressed to put my name forward to his leadership at Harvest Baptist Church in Blue Springs as a candidate for their pastor. The leaders there did extend me a call. After prayer, discussion, and a denite sensing of the Spirits leading, Jeff and the board of Graceway communicated they would support me 100% in whatever decision I felt God was leading me to make. Pastor Adams words, it seems to be a God thing.

I have accepted that call. July 22 will be my last Sunday and also the date the Career Class will stop meeting. So July 29 will be my rst ofcial Sunday at Harvest Baptist. I will be going at no salary, but Graceway has been very generous to Dalona and me, and even excited that some number of people may come help us re-establish that work. My new email is ashelby@hbcbluesprings.org Last month was the 27th anniversary of our beginning a new College & Career Class at KCBT, and this January would have been my 25th anniversary as a full-time staff member. So you will understand what a bittersweet occasion this is. Yet we believe it is a step of faith for all that will result in a multiplication of growth to accomplish the mission of Christ. Please keep us in your prayers to this end.
