Praise God...I've just been confirmed by Mission Utah and Hidden Valley Presbyterian Church to be a church planting apprentice under Rev. Lee Mashburn in Draper, UT (a suburb of Salt Lake City). I just graduated from Beeson Divinity School yesterday, and will be hopefully ordained this coming fall out in Utah. Kelly and I are very excited to go to this home mission field that has approximately an 86% Mormon population and only 5-10% in evangelical churches. Our plan is to move to Utah this September (after baby number 4 comes in August!). I will do a church planting apprenticeship for 1-2 years, funneling into a church plant in the surrounding neighborhoods, Lord willing. People ask me how we are possibly going to lead Mormons to Christ?? But isn't it true that conversion is a miracle, wherever you are?

The Ressurection-Power of Jesus is their only hope...mine too.
