By Adam Schwenk, MBC Loudoun Future Leader

End of October already!? It’s hard to believe how quickly time has gone by, since I know we all vividly remember showing up in July. Washington D.C. was full of excitement and mystery, learning our way around seemed hopeless, and discovering our new responsibilities at McLean Bible Church felt like drinking from a fire hose. We felt overwhelmed, yet confident that God placed us here to serve Him and use our strengths throughout the church.

So now we stand at the four month mark. We’re still trying to find the best short cuts through traffic, but God is greatly working in us and through us. And our desire is to be faithful. Faithful to Him and faithful in our current ministry. He’s challenged us to pursue Him with all of our being and also to serve our church whether it’s in our strengths or weaknesses. Taking the words of Paul in 1 Timothy “I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength, that he considered me faithful, appointing me to his service.” We’ve done our best to be faithful in the little, and now God has given us greater responsibility at MBC. May God grant us His grace in being faithful in our service the remaining time this year!
