The Time Has Come

It is hard to believe how quickly the time has gone by since we originally announced that we would be leaving to plant EHCC Memphis back in January. Our journey at Eagle Heights in Hammond is coming to a close, and our new journey is getting ready to start. Only God knows the rest of our story, we have been obedient to His call, we have prepared and planned as best as we know how. Now the rest is up to God.

Words could never express how much we are going to miss all of you at EHCC Hammond. You are our best friends, and we will forever value your friendship. I will never forget my first Sunday at Eagle Heights, how welcomed and accepted I felt. I pray that you will always treasure that quality, as it is a special quality that not every church has.

I want to say to my 313 group how much you have meant to Ashley and I. You have been a special jewel in our lives and I know that the Lord has great things in store for each of you, keep God first in all that you do.

Thank you 312 youth movement for being an awesome youth group. Never settle for just being an average youth group. God has called you to greatness.

To our best friends Philip and Julia: What an amazing man and woman of God you have become. You are an amazing example of a witness for Christ. You inspire us. Be strong and of good courage, fight the fight of faith, and run the race with endurance

What can I say to my Pastor (Pastor Kevin) I could not have asked the Lord for a better spiritual father, mentor, and friend. You are a true man of God with the utmost integrity. Thank you for everything. You are a pastors pastor.

Pastor Lisa, never has there been a spiritual mother quite like you in our lives. Your humility, passion for God and His people, and your willingness to serve God will always go with us.

I have always said that the opportunity of a lifetime, must be taken in the lifetime of an opportunity. Thank you Eagle Heights for giving me the opportunity to be your brother, your friend, and your pastor. It was an opportunity well worth taking.

We love you,
Jake and Ashley
