I want to thank everyone who has visited this blog and have been following my journeys in evangelism. As you may have seen, the posts have been pretty infrequent here. In case you've been wondering why, let me clarify a few things.
1) My passion for and position on evangelism have not changed. I still seek to share the Gospel daily in a variety of ways and will continue to do so.
2) While I am passionate about evangelism, it is not my primary calling. I am a man seeking God in my own life, while also balancing family and pastoral ministry. I caught myself last summer getting too focused on evangelism. While not to the neglect of family (I hope), I do feel my pursuit of God and my pastoral ministry were taking a back seat to my evangelistic endeavors.
3) I began this site to share my journey from a shy, timid guy who could barely muster the courage to hand someone a tract to someone who has open air preached on Hollywood Blvd. and down things I never imagined I would do for the Lord. I wanted to be an encouragement to others I knew who were taking their initial baby steps into evangelism. However, I began to wrestle with why I continued this blog. Was it now to "show off" what I was doing? Was it to draw attention? I guess I needed a break from the site to examine a few things.
With all that being said, this blog will still exist, but more as an informational site for my evangelism ministry - with resources, links, upcoming events, etc. However, any future updates on events or ongoing evangelism-related posts will not be moved to my all-inclusive blog site, The Intentional Spiritual Life. I want to maintain balance in my walk with Christ. Focusing on an evangelism-only site was not proving to be helpful in this pursuit.
So, I would love your continued prayer support as I seek to be a true and faithful witness. Continue to stop back here as I will try to keep the calendar updated with upcoming events. And I hope you will follow the ongoing journey over at the new site.
May the Lord bless you!
