What might God be up to?

Today I had a conversation with a young man who would like to be our intern. God continues to bring all sorts of people to our church from all parts of the country and world.

He was brought to us because of our diversity of community and church. He has worked with the Salvation Army and other benevolent organizations. He is soon to be married and living in St Pete. His desire is to work in a multi-ethnic, urban environment in hopes of planting a church in the future.

His own personal background is that his family, being Armenian, immigrated to the US. He has always grown up with a more global perspective. His fiancé is Nigerian.

What amazes me is he desires not to be a financial burden on our church. How amazing is God that he is sending self-funded leaders our way to serve with Common Ground.
