I just found the new site.  The forum format was  much needed. Kudos to all responsible. It looks great.  

I have found a great church in Ohio.  Both my wife and I  are now working. Prayers for housing would be appreciated.  That is still up in the air.  It feels good to be back in the Buckeye State.

A little about myself for those new to the forum.  I lost a friend to the  1980s Columbus church.  I did return to GC 2005-2007.  The church was a more easy going church with nominal GCM involvement.  Earlier this years, things did start to unravel with an exodus of staff.  I am not sure of of the  particulars.  I did not really want to know.  As time went on, it became clear it was time to  come back to Ohio.  I have been back for three weeks now.  I have seen some Great Commission churches, some not so great GC churches, and some "you got to be kidding".  I do regret the experience. I learned a lot; nevertheless I am glad that chapter is over.  It feels good to on the new and improved forum.

Exshep, welcome.  I am surprised that you can do so much in such a short time. Move, find a church, find jobs.  Good work!  God has been good to you.  Glad to establish contact with you via this new forum!
