Now, we had the choice of whether to go and be a pastor of a little ,rural church in Louisiana or an associate pastor of a church in an urban setting. We visited both and finally came to the decision that the urban church was the place God wanted us. we did not know that He was going to send us through the fire when we got there but that was the case. I was associate pastor of Education and Youth. There was a youth event going on in a neighboring church. It was well-known so I invited the youth to go. That evening seven people went, four adults and three youth. I was devastated because of the lack of interest. I called Sandra, who was finishing up her teaching assignment and she said ,"Well, there is only one way to go- UP!" This began a journey of prayer and faith."
