Greetings fellow crew members,
I have good news to share!
Effective Dec. 31, 2017, my
"Retirement of Employment" here at Charlotte Center City Partners will occur. As my becoming “even more senior”
happens on November 23, with 63 candles inflaming the double chocolate, extra frosting cake I will have,
there are a few other things yet assigned for me to do before I am heaven
bound.
What a blessing those days to
come will be! Think of this - all of Charlotte and TV land will be celebrating
my birthday and retirement too, as I drive
another dignitary up Tryon during the Thanksgiving Day Parade (unless Grandpa K
has Steve Martin as the Grand
Marshall and I ride along as his mini-Grand!)
Leaving this ever-changing 501 ©4
after four years, eight months on staff (and eight months as a contractor prior to April 29, 2013) as the
accountant for all three organizations Eleni and I account for, will give Megan
a new neighbor at some point, while Klint will
be seeing a different hair color other than silver across the cubicle from him. (Maybe he likes blonde, brunette
or red better?) I am sure Eleni and her HR department will find a good
replacement to fill my numbers chair.
My heart's desire has always been
to be back once again in Christian ministry most hours of my day. After serving 24 years, from 1987 -
2010, with three international ministries (Derek Prince Ministries, Mahesh Chavda Ministries /All Nations Church with Bonnie Chavda) and Vision for Israel and The Joseph Storehouse (Barry & Batya Segal) in
Fort Lauderdale and Charlotte, as the USA Director or the Director of
Administration and Finance, I have prayed for it to happen. It has always been
my passion to reach the nations with His Good News. (I like Sam, the “Jesus
Shouter” on the Charlotte Center City
streets! He certainly has Good News!)
When Laurie, my good wife of 40
years (Oct. 7, 2017) and I founded our ministry, Love For His People,
Inc. in April of 2010, I was believing that that would
be my life’s work from that point on. But for the last seven years, the good
Lord took me on a side journey, which is why I am
grateful to Moira, Eleni and Jovonna for allowing me to serve with you at CCCP,
CCCP-Community Trust and the 7th Street Public Market.
But now the time has come to complete the plans set before me.
After my 14th journey to Israel
this month of May, with previous adventures to China, England, France, Germany,
India, Canada, Spain and Trinidad and
Tobago...I will once again be adding frequently to my frequent flyer miles’
travel log. Good thing I have a valid new
10-year passport with plenty of visa pages to again be imprinted!
Before I finish this “book”, I
want to give you each a special gift. If you like to read good books, I will
leave behind a copy of each of my 14 books in Eleni’s
personal library of mine, sitting atop her cabinet in her office. (I would give
her more but I know space is a premium in there
and I don’t want her to be crowded out.) But check in and see the choices. Or
you can get them all on Amazon and Kindle.
(All purchased book proceeds go to Love For His People, Inc., but you could get
a free copy from me.)
It has been a joy in serving my
Lord Jesus Christ while I have been with all of you, and at the same time being
a blessing to the good people of Israel and the
nations. Maybe on the way to the airport sometime I’ll stop back in and greet
you.
Until then, you still have me
here for another seven months.
Be blessed in your calling,
Steve
P.S. Chris will be looking for
another office dad. Any candidates?
P.S.S. To those who have the
privilege of racking up their credit card purchases each month, please get your
reports back to me on time. I know who you are. All
14 of you! I still will be doing them each month, until Eleni hands that off to
the next blessed person! J
