My letter: More of a reassignment than a resignation.

Well, friends...I have been quite absent the past couple weeks and there is a reason why.  I figured the best way to share with you is the way I shared with my church:

Dear friends and church family,
With a mixture of emotions I am writing to tell you of my decision to resign from my position as the IHSM Small Group Coordinator.  While there is a great deal of fear and excitement coming along with this decision, there is an overwhelming sense of God's peace as I step into a different direction.

Throughout the last 3 years on staff and the last 10 years as an IHC member God has been continuously forming me and shaping me into who I am today.  Especially with my experience in seminary, my unique set of gifts and skills has been brought to light.  As I leave IHC I plan to enter a new Body where I can better use these gifts that God has equipped me with.

While it is time for me to move on, I want to proudly declare my love for IHSM and for IHC. After all, it is here that I first found Christ, learned what it means to earnestly seek after Him, and even received my call into ministry! The memories I have made here will always bring a smile to my face and I am grateful to have had my first experiences as an authentic follower of Christ at this place.

God’s workings within and through IHC continue to amaze me season after season, and I am eternally grateful for the ways in which my experiences here have equipped me for God’s Kingdom work. The relationships I have made here will not end as I look forward to hearing what God continues to do at IHC, as well as being able to share how God continues to use me.

I ask for your continued prayers as I have made this decision by faith alone. I do not yet have a place for fellowship, service, or employment, but trust that God will provide for me in the future as He always has in the past.

Lastly, thank you all for the memories, the experiences, the relationships, and the opportunities to serve alongside some of the most incredible individuals I will ever meet.

With joy and a grateful heart,
Kaylyn

Thank you all for your support. Please keep me in prayer as I make this transition. Danny and I are excited to see what God has for us around the corner!
