Destination: Granite City...




Well, it's official. My family and I will be moving to Granite City to work with Pastor Fred Childs and an awesome youth team. We're extremely excited about the great possibilities in the GC! Granite City is a small suburb (on the Illinois side of the river) of St. Louis, MO.

Pastor Childs has been a great friend of ours for many years and his leadership and mentoring will definately be a great benefit to our ministry. The youth team and young people in Granite City are ready to do some tremendous things there. South Illinois University is in the area and we hope to make an impact on the campus.

I'll be commuting to and from GC starting next week (March 4) until sometime in June when we'll make the official move. Probably a Sunday to Wednesday thing so we can move the ministry forward and look for housing, etc. I'll still maintain my speaking schedule and am looking forward to speaking in other areas as well.

So, thanks to the Believers and Pastor Randy Hollis for a great two years. We're going to miss Louisville and the great friends we've made here. I'll keep you posted with the progress.

Move Forward.
-Armando
