Prayer Request & News: John Frye
Over the last year, through my foray into the world of blogging, a few blogs and bloggers have become especially important, not only from what I have learned from them, but from the friendship that has emerged out of our exchanges. One such person in John Frye, author of “Jesus the Pastor” and blogger at “Jesus The Radical Pastor”. For those who frequent his blog, you will know him to be a deeply committed pastor, missionary and follower of Jesus. However, you might also have noticed that his blog has disappeared.
John asked me to inform you that he has stepped away from his blog for an undetermined amount of time. As a non-resident missionary mentor to young Ukrainian leaders, John has to spend more time raising support and seeking employment. Ideally, John would like to be bi-vocational, that is, keeping his Ukraine ministry active with Church Planters Training International and also working in Grand Rapids, MI (USA) where he lives. Pray for John and his wife, Julie, as they navigate these vital decisions.
Thanks Jamie, I was beginning to think there was something to this ” rapture thing “…you know one gut working in the field and suddenly ” poof ” he’s gone. I’ll miis John’s challenging words and thoughts…but I have a sense he’ll be back to share his stories again.We keep him, Julie and his ministry and travel in our prayers. Shalom…Ron+
No worries, Ron. Thanks for praying.
Peace,
Jamie
i’m glad to know he closed his blog on purpose, but i’m sad that i won’t be reading it now.
thank you for relaying this info, jamie; i’ll be praying for them too.
Thanks Rachael!
unrelated to this post (sorry) but it looks like there will be reference made to “invisible children” and the situation in Uganda this afternoon on Oprah!
Talk about huge awareness-raising exposure and potential.
Anybody got a VCR?
Greg,
Yes, we are taping it. Exciting.
Peace,
Jamie
Jamie,
Thanks so much for posting about the Jesus the Radical Pastor sabbatical. You’re a good brother. I’m grateful, too, for Dennis in Vancouver for holding the JTRP domain for me. Thanks as well for your prayers.
My pleasure, John!
Peace,
Jamie
