What we are all about…

I still remember the day I was offered a position at Blue Ridge Broadcasting. The legacy of the station, the integrity of Dr. Graham, the reach of the signal, all overwhelmed me as I searched for words to describe this new opportunity. This was a job that I dreamed about.

I moved trinkets and pictures into an office and began my BRB journey. I was amazed at the team. So many people who knew so much and loved God with all their hearts. It doesn’t happen often, but I didn’t have the words to accurately explain what I was feeling.

After my initial meetings, I settled in and started my job. 3 words kept coming up. Evangelism, Discipleship and Missions. As I looked at my job, I could see those 3 words weaved intricately into every aspect. It all led back to those 3 words.

So, this morning, I teared up as we spent the last day at work with Matt and his family as they prepare to travel as missionaries to Barcelona, Spain. (Find out more here: http://barcabound.wordpress.com/) They will definitely be missed. But, it made sense. It’s all come full circle. Matt and his family have shared their gifts with us for the last 10 years. For some, it’s been evanglistic. For others of us, it’s been discipleship. And now, they lead the way in missions.

So, we don’t say goodbye to the Stockman family…we say thank you! Thank you for your years of service here at 106.9 the Light and thank you for challenging us to look for the mission field where we are called to serve.

  1. Umm…well…its been a hard day. I share with Jim Kirkland when he said this morning about it is now the day. Of course, I am so proud of Matt and his family as they step out in faith to begin…or continue the work Our Father has for them in Barcelona! It is with great selfishness that I say I will miss him being here at ‘home’. But the Call is by far the greatest pull and so we say “See you later, Matt”!! It’s MUCH easier than “goodbye”!!

    We will surely be praying for you and your family…which is our family…and we will be sharing a small part of your ministry on the other side of the world! WOW–what could be greater?? I think the highest call to man is in the mission field because even as a Pastor, you can stay in surroundings where you feel ‘safe’ but on the mission field you are at the mercy and grace of Our Great Father Who is and does provide all that we ever need!!

    God speed my friend(s) and May God Always Bless you!!!!

    Lots of Love ♥

    PS-I remember the first time I met you at Ingle’s in Statesville at the OCC drop-off place and I called Denise and had you talk to her on the phone…such a funny story!! ☺
