We are excited to announce the newest addition to the Sojourn Staff! After eight months of prayerful consideration and intentional pursuit of a seasoned pastor to help us lead forward into the next decade of Sojourn, we have hired Brian Howard to be our Pastor of Teaching, Leadership & Church Multiplication. He presently is the founding and Lead Pastor of Copperhill Church in Valencia, California. Copperhill Church has grown from 12 people to over 600 in the last six years. Brian served on the board of the Acts 29 Network and directs church planter training, coaching, and networking for three west coast states. Brian holds a Master’s degree from Talbot School of Theology, has been a pastor for 19 years, and has extensive experience coaching church planters and emerging leaders. Brian also has a passion for church multiplication.
As one of Sojourn’s Executive Elders, Brian will provide leadership and direction to Sojourn’s Church Planting Center – primarily working in the development, sending and support of church planters internationally and throughout North America. He will also assist in providing leadership and direction to the Community Life within Sojourn. We are so fortunate to have Brian to help lead this church forward. His 19 years of ministry experience and his depth of experience in varying positions and churches will be invaluable to the Sojourn leadership team as we look to the next 10 years of more and better ministry in Louisville.
Brian has been happily married for 15 years to Chandra and has four amazing children who keep him incredibly busy! He loves hanging out with his family, enjoys running, cycling, watching college basketball, live music, and good sushi!
Brian and his family will be driving from California to Louisville in the next month and will be a regular part of our church in mid-March.

And now, Blake Field tells the story of his salvation, which led to a recent baptism at Sojourn Gathered:
My name is Blake Field. Before I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior, I wanted to be God.
God wasn’t happy with that at all.
I went to a crusade in Little Rock, Arkansas at the age of 14. There, I clearly understood what it means to become a Christian. The preacher presented the gospel very well. The Scripture that he read was John 11:25-26. “Jesus said to her, ‘I am the resurrection and the life: he who believes in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live. And whoever lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?’”
I believe this, and I’ve placed my faith in Jesus. I’m now forgiven of all of my sin. I’m a child of God and have new life in Him. I have been changed. I love Jesus with all of my heart, and I love those God has placed around me. I still have personal struggles and temptations everyday, but I wasn’t ashamed when I went forward to receive Jesus as my Lord and Savior at that crusade. I felt transformed the moment I came forward. I now have a passion inside of me to live for Jesus. Praise God!

This is just the right time to travel to Vietnam: it saves you money most while it gets you the once-in-a-life-time experience. Now is the only time that every of your penny spent brings you the best values. Let’s look further into the clarifications to know why.
First of all, we all know that the US Dollar has lost a lot of its value compared to other national currencies recently. This makes all commodities and services priced in US Dollar much cheaper than before. Now you start know what I mean, folks! All travel and tourism services in Vietnam have been quoted in US Dollars for many years and this is not going to change anytime soon. This is just fantastic news for many non-US travelers as you get hefty discounts the moment your book your trip in Vie…
