EFCA District Conference

Posted by Jason Oesterling on April 9, 2008

In starting ikon medina, we’ve partnered with the Evangelical Free Church of America.  This weekend is the Allegheny District conference, held at Cornerstone Community Church in Mayfield Hts. (my old stomping grounds from a few years ago).  Heading to the conference reminds me of how God used my time at the district conference last year as a confirmation of the direction he was sending us in.  I left the conference and called Janeen to say, “I’m convinced we’re doing the right thing at the right time with the right people.”  I continue to be convinced of that.

One of the huge partners we have had in this venture is Trinity Evangelical Free Church in Amherst, OH.  Trinity has brought me on staff 2 days each week, while supporting financially our church planting efforts in Medina (40 mi. away).  They’ve been extremely generous and flexible, allowing us to do what’s necessary to work on the church plant.  I’m very grateful for the way God has used them in the beginning stages of ikon medina.
