Dear friends, brothers, and sisters, in Proverbs 16:9, Scripture informs us, “A man’s mind plans his way [as he journeys through life], But the LORD directs his steps and establishes them.”

As sonsofthesea is God’s ministry, the Lord has removed our sister, Stephanie Rogers, from this ministry, so I have released her in obedience. Doctrinal beliefs no longer allow us to serve together as one. Maintaining unity in the Body of Christ and within this ministry with which God has entrusted me is essential for its growth. “I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another in what you say and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in mind and thought” –1 Corinthians 1:10.

Our parting was peaceable and mutual, maintaining the bonds of brotherly love, and our team thanked our sister for serving alongside us for a time.

Kendra, our pastors, and I pray over every seed the Lord has sowed through Stephanie’s teachings over these past months. And as we release her, we bless her. Asking that God cover, protect, lead and guide Stephanie as she stepped out into her new season. Please, friends, we ask that you cover this ministry in prayer as we fast and pray, seeking the Lord’s wisdom and guidance, moving confidently forward in all God has for us; the work of spreading God’s Word.
