Dear Pursuit NYC,
As you know, we are transitioning out of Pursuit to focus on our local church and personal ministries. In any season of change, we always want to take a moment to look back and reflect on the journey completed and look forward to the path ahead. May this remind us of God’s faithfulness and blessings.
That one fateful retreat in 2013 was the birth of a beautiful Kingdom partnership. Although we had departed shortly after to serve in Korea, we knew that there was more to come; the best was yet to come. There is much that has changed since then and much that has not.
Something that has changed: the major breakthroughs and heights reached in the ministry. From witnessing a gathering of a few people to over a hundred, the fruit of the ministry started to visibly be shown. The exponential growth of Pursuit was inspiring to those involved and those looking from the outside.
Something that has not changed: friendship. If there is one thing we are walking away with, it is that we have made eternal friendships with you brothers. Beyond strategy and productivity, the foundation of our ministry rested upon the precious relationships that were built here. The kind of hilarity that would occur in our staff meetings might be seemingly insignificant, but were the most treasured memories. Reminiscing about some of those moments now makes us want to laugh. Those times will especially be cherished and missed.
We want to remind you that each of you, unique in your identity and giftings, are a tremendous blessing to all those around you. We believe He will surely continue to use you in mightily impacting His Kingdom work. Pursuit, you have also honored and affirmed us in our giftings in a way that aided a much-needed healing process. Thank you for walking with us.
We are so thankful to have taken part in such a foundational time for the ministry. God has truly moved powerfully in both the big and small scales. Do not think of it as a departure, rather an arrival of a deeper scale of surrender to the Lord’s will to launch us all into the fullest extent of His ministries. Wherever we go, we know that God’s Kingdom will keep bringing us together again. Pursuit, may He take you from glory to glory.
Peace and Love,
Ezra & Janet
