“I am with you and will watch over you wherever you” (Genesis 28:15). That was God’s promise to Jacob as he fled from his home alone and afraid. He wasn’t really alone. God was with him wherever he went. He also didn’t need to be afraid. The Almighty God was watching over him. What a comforting promise! “I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go.”
That promise has taken on special meaning for me and my family lately. After lots of prayer and many conversations, on February 28th I accepted a call to serve as the pastor at Christ the King Lutheran Church in Tulsa, OK. It will be hard to say goodbye to Green Bay, but I’m excited about the opportunity to share God’s Word with people in Tulsa. I’m especially thankful for God’s promise: “I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go.”
You might not be moving across the country, but I bet there are times when you feel alone and afraid too. God’s promise is also for you! When Jesus died on the cross for us, he proved that nothing can ever separate us from God and his love. God is with you and will watch over you wherever you go!

I don’t know if I should be happy or sad to hear that you are moving again. I sure hope you will continue the blog and maybe even the church services. I enjoy seeing the kids growing and maturing and little Faith is a month older than our Brinley. Comparing notes is fun. Will you have more spanish opportunities and schooling for the kiddos? You are truly missed here.

Hi Bonnie. Thanks a lot for your comment and kind words! I will certainly continue to post devotions and sermons on my blog, and my new church in Tulsa live streams their services too. There isn’t any Spanish as part of my call there, so this will be the first time that I will have the opportunity to focus on ministry in English. It will be different, but I’m looking forward to the new opportunity. God’s blessings to you and your family!

Hi Pastor, we were somewhat surprised that you will be leaving Packer country. We know that God has given you and your family another opportunity to go and proclaim His word. Now when we come to Texas we can take a side trip to come to your church to worship and see you next December. God bless you and your family. Kurt and Anna Sumption
