At BPC this past Sunday we hit yet another milestone in the life of our church as we welcomed Justin & Erica Cluck & Janay Teamer to our Staff! Justin & Erica have relocated from Mobile, Alabama, Roll Tide! (just thought I’d throw that in there) & Janay has relocated from Michigan, Go Blue! (thought I’d throw that one in as well) All are CBC grads & went to school with our son Gregory.
About 3 months ago I sensed that in order for BPC to continue to grow & reach more people for Christ we needed to add staff, passionate, called of God leaders who have a “Whatever It Takes” mentality to see the kingdom of God advanced in Tarentum & the AG valley. So our search began with prayer, fasting & much needed & appreciated guidance from our great MCM leaders P’s Jeff & Nick.
Through a posting on CBC’s website God connected us with Janay. I just knew after our 1st phone conversation that she had an undying heart for seeing unchurched people come to Christ! Just yesterday she hit me with another zinger, “Pastor” she said, “people who haven’t eatin in 3 days just aren’t gonna listen to what we have to say. We got to meet their felt needs 1st then give em Jesus.” Needless to say Janay is more than ready to go!
I have to credit APC’s SR High Yth pastor Brad Harvey for this one. A few weeks back Francie walked into Brad’s office on a Wednesday saying; “Hey Brad, we’re looking for staff; worship & kids. Do you have any friends?” Brad’s reply, “I have these 2 friends & they would be great!”
We met Justin & Erica & I have to tell you that after hearing Justin play & sing I knew this guy had the stuff-a heart for God & a gifting for worship. And Erica just has a tremendous love for kids wanting them to know that God really, really loves them! Justin & Erica are so ready to go as well! As a matter of fact all 3 ministered during our service on Sunday & I have to also tell you they did great, like they had been doing it all their lives. I was so happy I cried…just a little. God is soo good & He knows exactly what (& who) we need!
So, please join Francie & I as we welcome Justin, Erica & Janay to the BPC staff and...Steeler Country! (OK, so they lost to the Broncos last night, remember its just preseason!)
