The Blessing of New Friends



Last Friday evening, Jason and I drove to Branson with CoCo Miller, Marena Harmon and Mark Dewbre to interview a young man who had applied for the Associate Pastor to Students position at our church. Tony and Jane Molina were also on our search committee, but they were on vacation.
We arrived in Branson around 8:15pm and met Tim and Meagan Rucker. Tim is from Florida and Meagan is from Kentucky. They were married a week ago and were honeymooning in Branson. They were gracious enough to allow us to drive to Branson to interview them on their last day of their honeymoon. Our visit with them was wonderful. On the way home, we all talked and decided that we were all feeling like Tim and Meagan could possibly be the one's that God was leading to our church.
Jason called Tim and Meagan early on Saturday morning to see if they would be interested in coming on over to Siloam Springs to look around our community and our church. They agreed and we showed them around the church and talked about our ministry at Revolution and we showed them our beautiful town.
Sunday morning, Tim did an incredible job teaching to our students in Bible Study. After lunch, they had lunch with the staff. Later that afternoon, they met with all of our Youth Workers and then met with the Personnel Committee.
After much prayer and confirmation from the Lord, Jason extended a call to Tim to come as our Associate Pastor to Students. He accepted. :)
Tim and Meagan found a house that they will be moving in to next week. They will be here for our first Wednesday night of the Fall to meet our Middle Schoolers. Their first Sunday will be August 24th. We are incredibly excited to get to know them better and to be apart of each others lives. We are looking forward to serving with them in Ministry. God is so faithful! I am so thankful to Him for bringing this Godly couple into our lives!
