pastors
I am in Austin Texas. I have been meeting with a group of pastors that are starting new churches. I love these guys and the adventure. I find their courage and faith refreshing.
We were discussing the fear factor of starting new church. It is very scary! You are putting your whole life and the life of your family on the line following the call of God. As we talked I said "you are not willing to take great risk for God until He is your only option".
What I mean is that if we have any other plan than the plan of trusting and hoping in God then we will fail. God wants to be our first and only choice. I know that even if I fail at starting this new church God will not fail. My life is not about me.
This all sounds crazy but it is so sound. When I surrender my life to God and His control my life will matter.
I am starting a new church in Tallahassee. Tara and I have risked it all for this call of God. If he doesn't come through we are doomed. I can't think of a better way to live.

Dear Scott;
I would like to hear of one of these pastors contacting my son, Paul Wentzell in Austin. He just graduated from UT and is transitioning into the workforce. I feel God has something special in store for him in this life and maybe he can be a part of a growing church there. Please pray for him. My father was just sure that God was going to call him to preach. He really can pray a wonderful prayer.
I would really appreciate Andy Martin's email if you have it, also.
I was sad that you left Victoria but I understand your need to go forward.
Thank you!
