We are saying our final farewells to Vince, Kandy, Sam, and Caleb Blubaugh. They have blessed us. We are sad, yet excited about their future.
Vince is heading toward one of the most prestigious and influential church planting assignments in our convention. He will oversee church planters in Washington DC and Northern Virginia.
As Vince leaves us, I want to make one more attempt at expressing my appreciation for him. Since coming to Second Baptist Church in Springfield, Missouri, as our Missions Pastor, Vince has extended our church planting efforts northward to Minneapolis, eastward to New York City, westward to Hawaii, and southward to the Virgin Islands (the southernmost church plant affiliated with NAMB). It is 5000 miles from NYC to Hawaii, and 2500 miles from Minneapolis to the Virgin Islands.
Could this list maybe make Vince the "farthest USA-reaching" church-planting staff member of any local church in the SBC? I raise the question to see if anyone else out there could possibly surpass this extensive reach.
Vince Blubaugh has done a great job. Church planting in Springfield, in Missouri, in the USA, and in the world has been immeasurably blessed by him. He was found faithful here. We believe the future is bright for him, Kandy, Sam, and Caleb.
