Congrats, Eric!!

Just want to give a shout out to my friend, Eric Redmond... who was voted in as the Second Vice-President of the Southern Baptist Convention (he's the bro... second from the right).

Eric and I have been friends for almost 20 years, and I've always appreciated his faithfulness and commitment to the Scriptures. It's an awesome thing to see how far he's has come... I met him when we were students at Washington Bible College... now he's the Senior Pastor of Hillcrest Baptist Church in Temple Hills, MD (which serves as our sponsor church), and second vp of the SBC, to boot... go 'head, E Red!

BIG UPS to Geoff Hammond!

Wow... this is HUGE...

The trustees at SBC's North American Mission Board (NAMB) will be voting on Geoff Hammond as their new president... HUGE!!!!

For those who don't know, Geoff is the Senior Associate Director of the Southern Baptist Conservatives of Virginia, the state convention of which I am a church planter (though I reside in Maryland... long story... God's all in it).

I mean, this is MAJORLY HUGE!!!

Although we will miss Geoff terribly (he's personally been a huge advocate, encourager, and supporter for Mosaic), NAMB couldn't be getting a better dude. I'm a newbie in the SBC - and I'm from Takoma Park, MD and don't know all there is to know - but I think Geoff is going to do a bang-up job... he loves church planters and missionaries, he's very approachable, and he's an awesome leader... of leaders!!
