I apologize that I have not posted anything sooner. The past few weeks have been a blur as we moved much faster than what I anticipated. As we prayed and read over the questionnaires we narrowed our search to four candidates. Those who we did not move forward with were emailed and thanked for their responses.
As we interviewed the remaining candidates, it became clear to our committee that one of those young men was the one we knew God was calling to work alongside us here. We contacted those we interviewed by phone to inform them of our decision. I will admit making those types of phone calls are the part of my job I hate the most. I know they are difficult to receive as well. I have been there many times.
At this time I will not post the young man's name because he is currently serving in a church. We are announcing him to our church this Sunday, August 28. He and his family will join us in view of a call September 16-18. We appreciate your prayers as we are winding down this part of the process.
Mark Smith, Pastor of FBC Jacksonville
