Family Ministry Staff Transition

May 24, 2013

Dear New Beginnings Church Family,

It is with a heavy heart this day that I am announcing my desire to minister in new pursuits apart from New Beginnings Baptist Church. My resignation will be effective upon a date that the MLT agrees upon to allow us ample time to transition. My family and I are very grateful for the opportunity we’ve had here to journey with you experiencing the depths of God’s goodness and of His will for this church to minister to families in the Tulsa, OK area. It is no easy thing to try and use the wisdom that comes from the Holy Spirit and the Word of God to try and discern what are the proper steps to take in life. The Lord has opened multiple doors for us to pursue further evangelistic ministry at camps, revivals, church training and family events across the south. We feel that this move will be honoring to the Lord’s calling in my life.

May this congregation know that we depart with great encouragement by the work in the area of Family Ministry, that the Lord is doing through New Beginnings and for your commitment to gather together in the love displayed in the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross. Having met with a portion of the MLT team this week, it became evident to me that my ministry is not a proper fit for the wellbeing of this church. The path to spiritual maturity will not always be easy or comfortable. But it is the only path for a church of Jesus Christ to be on. Follow your devoted church leaders, as they follow Christ.

The wonderful thing about the body of Christ is that there are never goodbyes. Not only do we have eternity to look forward to as we worship our Savior in all of his glory, but I’ve certainly come to discover that ministry with people leaves close ties that you simply cannot sever. We will certainly be in prayer for the health and growth of this body of believers. We will certainly covet your prayers as we begin a new part of our journey serving the Lord.

To the praise of His glorious grace,

Travis Young
