Update from the Tubbs

Dear Friends, 

The last few weeks have been great for us at Cornerstone Church! In February, we had the opportunity to visit Alabama and connect with several churches and participate in a missions celebration hosted by the Chilton Baptist Association. It was a great time, and we enjoyed being able to see family and friends while also connecting with some new ministry partners.  

Recently, we have also been pleased to see God answering our prayers in tangible ways. For almost 4 years now, we have been praying that God would send some long-term workers to the field. On Thursday, March 1, Kevin and Kristi Cabe from Knoxville, TN moved into their apartment in Bay Ridge. They are serving a two-year appointment with the North American Mission Board under their Missionary Service Corps program. Kevin will be working with us as our music director and developing a strategy to reach teens and singles, while Kristi will be working to lead our women's events and serving with Lesley in our children's ministry. We are so thankful for their help and look forward to serving with them.

On a similar note, we have also been praying for God to provide us some help from someone with some business experience, preferably a retired couple. This has been for a few reasons. One, as a church, there is a business aspect of what we do, and it would be good to have some experienced help (budgets, incorporation, etc.). Two, 20% of Bay Ridge residents are 60 and older. We are blessed by the fact that in late March a  retired gentleman with significant administrative experience with major universities in the US is visiting Bay Ridge to see if he could spend some time working with us. Please pray for this opportunity.  

God is good, and it has been refreshing to see His hand upon us recently. We are so excited about the help which God provides and for His guidance in church planting. The church here is growing - we are seeing new faces, and we are seeing individuals growing in their faith. All of this is a result of prayer. Please keep praying for us as we seek to reach a lost and dying community.  

As always, we thank you for your prayers and support. Please let us know how we can continue to pray for you as well.  

We look forward to hearing from you soon,

The Tubbs Family  

Welcome Kevin & Kristi

With just under 9 months of marriage, Kevin & Kristi Cabe packed up their belongings and headed to Bay Ridge in March of 2012. Both sensed the calling of the Lord on their lives to invest into a local community and partnering with a local church for the hopes of leading people to Christ. Kevin has a BA in Christian Studies from North Greenville University and has served in churches in North Carolina and Tennessee as an associate pastor, church planter, worship leader, and student pastor. Kristi has a BA in Religion from the University of Tennessee  and an MDiv in Biblical Counseling from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. Kristi has been active in children ministry, student ministry, and women's ministry. Both are excited about being in Bay Ridge and working with Cornerstone Church.
