New Year’s Day Report — January 1, 2017!

Some of you might be wondering what has been happening in the life of the Dixon family since I lost my teaching job last June.  As some of you know, Columbia International University needed to “downsize” and I was one of four faculty members who were released.

As you can imagine, this was an incredibly painful time for Linda and me.  After almost twenty years at CIU, I was let go.   I felt that my teaching career was over, that I no longer had a ministry, and that I had to become a greeter at WalMart (those are very nice people, but you get my point).

But a small church in Augusta, Georgia, was going through a difficult time:  their pastor of 16 years was dying of cancer.  I volunteered to do some pulpit supply for them.  In consultation with their elders, I became their part-time interim pastor!  Linda and I travel each Sunday morning to Crossroads Fellowship Church.  If you click here, you will be taken to their website where they live-stream (and then archive) my messages.

The believers at Crossroads have been such an encouragement to us.  Would you pray that God would show us His perfect will for the next chapter of our lives?  Thank you.
