What are the Redelspergers doing now?

We are moving to Weed, CA. We will be leading a relaunch of Weed Church of Christ. This little church has been around for a long time. At one time there were about 50 people there. There are currently five, so our family doubles that number instantly. There has been some conflict, lack of leadership and divisions there in the past. However, everyone who is currently there is excited about moving forward to be a group of people who love God, each other, and their neighbors. They are excited to for more activity, more people, and younger people. I see good days ahead of sharing the gospel and bringing the kingdom to Weed and the surrounding communities.

the Church building

            The church owns a small building with a house next door which serves as a parsonage for the preacher and his family (the Redelspergers). We will be living there for free while we serve the church, the community of Weed and greater Siskiyou County. We are also raising a financial support team to partner with us for the next 5 years. We are moving there to do ministry as a family. I will be preaching, providing leadership and vision, and normal church work. Amy will also be very busy with the church, planning, visiting, administrative help, engaging in the community, loving our neighborhood etc…

view of Mt. Shasta

            Weed, CA is a small town an hour south of Ashland OR on I5.The elevation is higher than the population. They are both right around 3,000. We are in the shadow of Mt. Shasta. There is a spectacular view from our backyard. The town was founded by a lumber man named Abner Weed. No, the name has nothing to do with marijuana, though many people there act like it does. It is a rural logging community with a small town feel. We will have snow on the ground much of the winter, but the summers get plenty hot. From what I can tell there isn’t a very strong church presence there, but we want to change that.

            While we’re there I will also be going to nursing school. I am already enrolled in some prerequisite classes at the College of the Siskiyous. In 5 years I will have completed my Registered Nurse degree and we will then become a self-supported ministry family.

We will always be a ministry family. We are excited about the opportunities ahead of us in this new ministry God has called us to. Would you like to receive our quarterly newsletter?
