About

Sep 28th 2006

I’m married to a beautiful and wonderfully supportive woman named Wendy. Without her, I’d still be playing Civilization on my computer in a dorm room somewhere. We’ve had three girls together, Taylor, Selah, and Kahlea. You can see a picture of them here. We are in the process of adopting a fourth girl. We are trying to adopt from Guatemala.

But what about me? Who am I? Who is Jeremy Myers? The truth is that right now, I don’t even know who I am. So if you figure it out, let me know. You can contact me at jmyers@tillhecomes.org

I know who I was, and I’m not sure I fully like him. I know where I’m going when I die, and that thrills me. But between now and then, it’s just one big question mark. I had a big life plan and was doing quite well on it, but then….it all blew up in my face, and now I’m seeing that it wasn’t a very good plan. So, I’m back at square one.

However, a few things are beginning to emerge. One thing I am really excited about is that it looks like I’m headed for church planting, but in a way that most people, Christian and non-Christian alike, might not call “church.” This will probably happen somewhere in the Northwest, I’m looking at Montana right now. Read my blog to keep updated!

    Just curious about your church planting plans. Why Montana? Where else have you considered? Are you thinking about a missional/organic type of plant?

    Brad,

    I am open to nearly anywhere, and I have considered many different places, from here in Texas or Oklahoma, to New Zealand (came really close to that option, but then we learned that we can’t adopt and move to New Zealand…).

    I am still leaning most heavily toward the Northwest United States, partly due to demographics (one area I am seriously considering is only 10% “churched”) and partly due to how God has wired me and my family.

    As to your second question, I definitely want it to be missional/organic. My greatest temptation right now is to go with something “safer” or more recognizable and familiar, but every time I consider it, I discover some core value of mine that I would have to compromise. Please pray that I stay true to what God is teaching me!

    Hey Jeremy!

    I just left a comment on your post about Viola’s new book. Then I read your profile. Are you my long-lost brother? We seem to have a great deal in common. I’ve read most of the books on your sidebar, I am a Civilization addict, have connected with Brad Brisco online, have been a church planter, experienced the implosion of my big life plan, live with more questions than answers, and my wife and I are in the adoption journey which began with Guatemala but shifted domestic after Guatemala shut down international adoption.

    You even kind of look like me.

    Weird.

    i, too, had a life plan blow up in my face. i, too, have a warm spot for the northwest, especially washington state. yet, strangely God has some really weird plans for me, and every day is a wonderful ‘adventure’ to find out what they are! anyways, i’m feelin’ the vibe you are giving out. hopefully someday, i will team up with a uniquely minded evangelist like yourself…and plant a church! what crazy adventures would ensue! and, even more fun, what craziness it would be trying to juggle starting a church and finding a job! fortunately for me, i have a good 8 years between here and there to think about things.

    Wishing you the best :)

    Andew,

    Keep in touch! I love the way you think and write – both with clarity and conviction. Who knows how God might bring our paths together in the future…
