KFA STAFF

I have to say again how much I love our pastoral staff at KFA. These are men and women who are fully-devoted followers of Christ. They are fun to be around and know how to laugh (way too much) as well as get down and talk about business --- they can debate with passion and then agree in the end --- they are able to openly challenge and then walk away fast friends --- they are passionate about the local church and, as a group, we are learning how to prioritize what God is calling us to do here in Kenosha.

What a team!

Even as I am writing this, an e-mail from one of the team members pops into my inbox saying how thankful and appreciative they are that God has made it possible for us to all serve and work together. That's what I'm talking about.

A "DREAM TEAM."

I am excited about 2009. It promises to be a year when more people than ever will come to Christ as we focus on Jesus' mission - not only weekends, but all thru the week. It will be a year of steady but measurable growth in our faith as believers as well.

We are all on the same page - striving toward the same goals and vision - like never before.

Here are some things happening in 2009:

Missions trips to Mexico - Austria - Thailand (2 trips) - England - Jamaica - Honduras - Milwaukee City on a Hill - Minneapolis (elementary student missions trip)

Small Group Connections - Meet the Pastors dinners

Water Baptisms at Lake Andrea

Valentine's Day Couples Night Out - Kouples Kamp

Student Camps and retreats

Guest speakers: Sam Farina, John Bevere and Dr. Nick Yphanitides

More small group sermon-based tie-ins - fall '09 small group emphasis coordinated with message series

Message series on: Book of Romans - Confessions from your Pastors - Body/Soul/Spirit - God at the Billboard - Questions You are Asking

Benevolent and 'missional' outreaches

That's just the 'tip.' 2009 will be an awesome year. Pray for our church and our pastors, would you?

And be blessed.
