Moving Back to Austin

Sarah and I have had an awesome year here in St Louis. We’ve met lifelong friends, and learned things that will stick with us forever. As most of you have heard by now, we’re moving back to Austin at the end of this month. We have come to this decision after extreme caution and prayer. As moving day commences, we’re becoming sadder to leave, and are growing even fonder of our friends here. Stephen and the band have been like a tightly-knit family for us, and The Journey has been an incredibly integral part of our sanctification. There’s no way we ended up here by accident, nor was it a mistake to come. We’ve been blessed, challenged, trained and blessed again.

We feel the Spirit leading us back for many reasons, but the main one (for me) is to contribute in ministry to my family back home. Some of them have been through very rough times lately, and God has positioned me to be a helper to them.

Because of my job, I’ll get to visit StL about once a month, and I hope to remain friends with you all, and visit The Journey frequently.

Please pray for us. Pray that we will not lose sight of the mission on which God has us. My biggest temptation is to go off and make this move about me. When you think of us, please pray that our lives bring glory to God, and not ourselves.

StL, thank you for welcoming us so warmly. We love you, and we’ll see ya soon.

-Wes and Sarah
