Another Major Milestone

Finally!

We've just finished our first complete book and put it on the web for the public. It is titled The First Steps of a Disciple. (You can see it and purchase it on our web site by clicking here.)

Over a year ago, we began writing topical lesson supplements. From there, we turned them into full lesson plans, complete with ideas for opening activities and closing notes. This collection of 13 lessons cover many basic topics of the Christian life, starting with Salvation. Each lesson plan has lots of Scripture references and a student handout so that they can follow along with the teacher's presentation.

It was a lot more work than we anticipated, but we're glad it's done. We definitely learned many things from this process, and we pray that we become better writers and publishers so that God can use our ministry to help many people.

One down, who knows how many more to go...

The New Home of Center Cross Creative

This month we took a big leap of faith and rented a building in High Point that will be our offices. It features a neat modern architecture from the 50's and is set back off the road in a wooded area. Perfect!

As an added benefit, the building is large enough and laid out such that we will be able to share it with Micah's dad and his ministry, Serving God's Servants. God is so good!

We've been using our spare time to begin doing some remodeling -- fresh paint, new floor coverings, minor repairs and new furniture. It's a lot of work, but we're excited about having a unique space -- something worthy of the "creative" nature of our work.

The office that looks out onto the front deck will be shared by the both of us. It has an awesome view.

More pictures later on when we finish.
