Moving Out

Well, I posted my PIF online and waited for the avalanche of mail offering me all kinds of incentives if I would just please consider coming to serve their church. (sound of crickets chirping) Obviously, the response has been somewhat less than I had hoped. So I thought, Ok, they just need a little jump-start. I sent my PIF to ten or thirty of the more desirable churches and waited for their enthusiastic response. I now have a stack of letters that all begin with, "After reviewing your qualifications, the committee has decided.........................." By the time October rolled around and we had no money to pay the rent, we became homeless.

Lori's sister offered us a room in her house so, with the help of several seminary friends, we packed up our stuff and moved to eastern Ohio. Our address is now:

Ron and Lori Church
320 Alice St.
East Palestine, OH 44413
(563) 564-0813 (my cell #)

I am now searching for churches in eastern Ohio, western Pennylvania and northern West Virginia. I am expecting to achieve the same level of success here as I experienced in Iowa. I will keep updating all of you (both of you?) on how things are going as I continue the adventure of finding that one church for which God has prepared me.
