Benjamin,

I have a dear friend who pastors in Minot. He is currently doing a DMin at RTS Charlotte. He is a hair breadth away from joining the PCA... he's already given his current denomination notice that he no longer affirms without reservation their statement of faith.

Please contact me and I'll give you his info. He is truly a great guy.

That is some exciting news. But take a coat: it's cold there...

Praise God that he has brought you this far and prepared you for such a great work, and has made you willing to do it.

It is God that multiplies our sorrows.... God, as a righteous Judge, does it, which ought to silence us under all our sorrows; as many as they are, we have deserved them all, and more: nay, God, as a tender Father, does it for our necessary correction, that we may be humbled for sin, and weaned from the world by all our sorrows; and the good we get by them, with the comfort we have under them, will abundantly balance our sorrows, how greatly soever they are multiplied. - Matthew Henry

A very big CONGRATULATIONS and Gods blessings

Praise God and may he protect and guide you.

BTW, North Dakota is a pretty decent place. I like it better than about 47 other states.

On behalf of the consistory and congregation of Harvest Reformed Church, Minot, ND, I want to thank God for using the PB as the means by which we connected with Benjamin in this matter of calling him to be our pastor. I believe God has blessed this man and will use him mightily in Minot. May God use him to gather in part of His harvest here in ND.
I'm also very thankful that Benjamin is not afraid of winter and on his visit here, God providentially gave him a taste of a true ND winter with record breaking below zero temperatures and a blizzard and that did not deter him from accepting the call.
Please pray for Benjamin in his preparation for his licensure exam and his move to Minot.

Ben,
What church does your friend pastor?

Doctrinal truth should be preached always, openly, without compromise, and never dissembled or concealed. There is no offence in it; it is the staff of uprightness.
~Martin Luther~

Wow! Congrats. I know you will do well.

Here is what I have seen to be good and fitting: to eat, to drink and enjoy oneself in all one’s labor in which he toils under the sun during the few years of his life which God has given him; for this is his reward. Ecclesiastes

Congratulations.

Congrats. This really must be a calling. I checked out Minot on google map and the place is near Canada. Yikes. I even checked out the avg temperature and began shivering in a 80 degrees heated office.

Will definitely be praying for you Benjamin.

Congrats and Mega-Dittos!!!

Looks like a nice Church!!
