The Chairman of our Elders, Bob Bergers, forwarded me the statement below for everyone regarding George's restoration process. That's him pictured to the left.
Our Elders are a great group of guys, and I appreciate their covering over Abundant LIfe, especially during times like these where God is revealing the next place He wants us to learn and grow. Pray for these guys. They volunteer immense amounts of time to oversee Abundant Life, and often work behind the scenes unnoticed, but ever present.
Here's a link to their pictures on the web: Elders George will be serving in an inactive status during his restoration process.
Here's the letter from the Elders:
The last several weeks have been some of the most challenging days in the life of our church. We face challenges unlike any before. God’s hand has already been evident as He uses this occasion to change lives and make our church even stronger.
We’d like to make you aware of some steps we are taking so that you can know how to be praying.
As announced during the June 19th and 20th services George has began meeting with a local Christian counselor. Ann will be included in the counseling at a time to be established by the counselor. During George’s time away from teaching he will continue to maintain normal office hours as he works with staff in processing this journey, learning, growing, and rebuilding relationships.
In addition, we are now several weeks into the program involving Bill Putman the consultant from CDF (Christian Development Fund). Bill will be involved on an ongoing basis. The term of Bill’s involvement is uncertain and yet to be defined but will become evident as progress is realized.
Please accept our thanks for your prayers and continued support of God’s work through Abundant Life Church. Even though these are challenging times, we hold to His word that all things work together for good for those who love Him and who are called according to His purpose. This is our hope and the promise that fuels our energy to move forward.
Your Abundant Life Elder’s
