Means Update

Means Family Update

Hello friends and family! We hope this letter finds you well! I am sorry for the informal mass-email. Lots of things are happening with the Means family and we wanted all of you to know the latest, so here is the “quick and skinny” on the Means’.

Matthew
As most of you know, we have been on the south side of Atlanta, Georgia planting a PCA church for the last seven years. The Lord has taught us so much through this process, we are so thankful for all He has done. It has been such a blessing to see the birth and growth of a young new church. We love the people at South Point Presbyterian Church and all that God has done “through them” and “in them” over the last seven years. We are also excited to see what God is going to continue to do through SPC, his bride, in the future!

Thank you all of you who have supported us and prayed for us during our time here! We truly would not have made it without all of your support! That being said, the Lord has drawn our time here to a close and has called us into a new chapter of ministry. This fall, we will be moving to Norcross, Georgia where Matthew will be teaching Bible and Theology to high school students at Wesleyan School. Along with teaching, Matthew will also be coaching football and wrestling. We are excited about all that the Lord has in store for us in this new calling. Matthew is looking forward to ministering to high school students as well as serving and using his gifts in a local church.

Kelli

Kelli has her hands full with four little ones. Her days are filled with stuff like folding laundry, picking up toys and putting band-aids on skinned up knees. Kelli has a new calling this fall as well as she will be home-schooling Judson for Kindergarten with Vertias in Alpharetta. GA. (pray for her!)

We are very excited to say that it has been two years since Kelli had surgery for ovarian cancer and as of today, she is cancer free. Praise the Lord!!! Thank you all who prayed, called, and sent letters. Please continue to pray that the Lord will watch over our family in this area!

Kids

Emma-Kate is nine, Adyson is eight, Judson is five and McCully is two. Emma-Kate and Adyson will either be in public school or enrolled in Wesleyan this fall if there is room. They are all growing like weeds and healthy, Praise the Lord! Emma-Kate and Adyson are enjoying their second summer on the community swim team. They both have a knack for it and enjoy the competition. Judson and McCully enjoy the pool as well, but more so just for the fun of swimming on these hot summer days.

Judson is all boy, which is good being in a house full of girls. He got his first pocket knife for his birthday and he carries it with him almost everywhere. McCully does not know that she is only two and she tries to do everything her older siblings do (This gets her in trouble sometimes).

Thank you again all of you. You are all part of our family and we are thankful for how the Lord has used each of you in our lives to encourages us as we continue to walk through life together. Please don’t hesitate to call or email and lets us know how we can be praying for you.

Lord Bless,

Matthew, Kelli, Emma-Kate, Adyson, Judson, and McCully
