Summer has brought a lot of changes to the Ginn household! Olivia recently left her job as a Speech Pathologist in the public school system. She will be pursuing private care in the home health field. Lord willing, she will be pursuing a job with one of the local companies that provides speech services to younger children in their homes.
I am going through my last six months of seminary. This summer, I plan to finish two of my catechism tests and the English Bible exam, followed by my five remaining classes in the Fall semester. What a ride this seminary time has been! As I get down to final buzzer I am thankful to God for His grace and care for us. So many times we have been totally lost as to what to do next, or how we would live, or where we would find work, but God has always provided for us faithfully. We look forward to having even more testimonies about His faithfulness and love!
As we prepare to finish seminary, we look to the future. God has put on our hearts to go back to the Midwest and pursue pastoral ministry there in the Presbyterian Church in America. The Father has put it as a burden on us to see the continuing reformation of the Church in the Midwest, specifically in Chicago metro area and southern Wisconsin. There are many potentially open doors before us.
Would you please consider praying for us specifically in your prayers? Our most urgent prayer requests are for employment for Olivia and a strong finish in seminary for me. Looking towards the future, would you please pray that God open a door for me to pursue His call on my life to preach the gospel? We are also looking for clarity in the potential choice between pursuing church planting (the starting of new churches in unreached areas) or pursuing pastoral ministry in an already-established congregation.
If you are able to pray for us, please let us know! We so appreciate being prayed for by our many beloved friends and family members. Going into the future knowingly covered in the prayers of God's people would be such a wonderful encouragement to us. And let us know how we can be praying for you! Much love to you all!
+ Blessings in Christ +
You will be in my prayers! And it helps to have the specific requests; thanks for letting us know! Blessings! Hoping to see you both, maybe yet this summer?
