New Staff Member

Living Proof joyfully welcomes Curtis Jones to our staff!

My Dear Siestas, please join us as we welcome my dear son-in-law, Curtis, to our ministry staff. We are beside ourselves with joy! I know I’ve set myself up to be teased for announcing his arrival this soon after Melissa moved to Atlanta, but you’ll have to trust me when I tell you that you can’t talk Curtis Jones into a danged thing that he’s not convinced is God’s will. And I say that to his credit. Last fall we began to sense God opening a door for him here in Houston at LPM and have since worked on developing the position as he finished his responsibilities at the church he, Amanda, and Jackson loved so dearly. Curtis will be a wonderful addition to our team and you’ll be hearing from him through various avenues on the website. Please click onto his LPM page to learn lots more about it. We’re crazy about you guys around here and hope so much that this will be another way God will empower us to serve His Son to you. Blessings!

God so loves you and your family and we do, too! Cannot wait to see what Curt “brings” to the table for us to devour about our God and Lord Jesus Christ! GLORY! How very EXCITING!

    Welcome, welcome, welcome!!

    How could we not be crazy thrilled!!

    (Even though we secretly think that Beth would do just about anything for some more Bibby time, we are pretty sure that God wants you exactly where you have landed!)

    Well I do declare Curtis Jones the first “official” Miesta! Travis, hate to tell you, since you coined the term, but the one living in Houston wins the designation. Welcome Curtis–you are a brave warrior–keep checking that your estrogen levels don’t go up!

    Congrats. LPM. We are a family run Business and I believe in the merits of famlies working together, especially when it is working for the benifit of everyone, we have daughters sons cousins son-in-laws and daughter in-laws and so far it is working. We too are a Christian Company and maybe that makes the difference.
    Be Blessed Beth and your staff.

    Sweetest Beth,
    I am so excited about Curtis’ addition to the LPM Staff. I know that he will make a wonderful addition to the team. I think you have made a wonderful decision to move into a position to minister not only to women, but to men also. Your message is relevant to the body as a whole. Our entire Wednesday night congregation, men and women, young and old, have gone through several of your bible studies. There is no prejudice at Gadsden Christian Fellowship about it being a “women’s bible study!” 🙂 Praise God for staying current and with the times. Blessings to you and your entire family.

    Love,
    LeighAnne

    Beth, I just listened to Curtis’s sermon on your main page. You are right about that child! Man, what a blessing to get to hear him preach. I thank you for putting that on the site so we could get a taste of who Curtis is in God. I was challenged in my area of worship for sure. Amanda I know you are just so proud of hi. Jackson is a blessed child – his family all in love with Jesus. Good stuff. Thanks again and Bless you all, Vicki

    Very cool! I know men who have just used a “Timothy card” to listen to Beth’s messages before!

    It will be awesome to see what is in store for LPM with Cutis on board! May God’s hands continue to be upon you all! We look forward to more! 🙂 Oh Praise Him!

    Blessings,
    Amanda

    Congratulations to both families! I love to see the handiwork of God….now all those men out there…Hang On! I can’t wait to see how God uses Curtis in your ministry.

    And being of the same age group that Curtis and Amanda are in…I’m so thankful to see a GODLY husband and father take a stand, love the LORD and their families. That’s what real men are made of!

    Looking forward to see what’s to come…

    HIS daughter says:

    Beth, Curtis, Amanda and LPM!

    This is so awesome and so GOD! I’m listening to Curtis right now and he is “bringing it”! He makes you think deeply and he also makes you laugh and he teaches as well.

    Seriously, he sounds like a guy I listen to online that’s a pastor at a huge church somewhere out west.

    But, of course he is his unique self, gifted by GOD for the ministry of teaching/preaching to bless us all in the body!

    I know he’s great…after Beth talked about him washing Amanda’s feet before he ever kissed her in The Beloved Disciple Bible study – He had my vote too!

    Love and many prayers to all of you!

    Hey Beth and Amanda,

    I just want to congratulate you on having Curtis join the staff. I was touched when I read about his faithfulness to God on your home page.I LOVE to hear this kind of thing!!! After I get done with writing a bunch of papers for my English classes, I am looking forward to listening to the message posted. P.S. I will have to post as anonymous because I do not know how to blog and I rarely post because of that. Oh and I know what a blessing it will be to have them close. I am in a predicament myself because I am moving down your way from West Virginia and leaving my beautiful, precious baby niece and it is devastating. Also, I am a country girl from WV and I don’t know what I am going to do in a big city like Houston. I have to trust God, please pray for me. Beth, I am as crazy about my niece as you are over Jackson and it took me by surprise. It is like a new form of mental illness (you said that one time). Thanks!! You and the late Ruth Bell Graham are the only Christian authors I really read, respect and just love because y’all know how to keep it real and that is what truly helps people.

    I wondered if there’d be a post about this today. I was listening to Curtis’ message on worship at 5:15 this morning with my 1st cup of coffee. Man! What a way to start this Monday! Great news and a great message!

    Thanks Curtis & WELCOME! 😀

    Oh the Lord is soooo good!!!!! My husband and I were talking just the other day that we wish he could find a good men’s bible study to do. I pray that the Lord will move Curtis in this way for our beloved men.

    Does this mean the nest isn’t so “empty”? I hope the Jones’ are moving back to Houston and Jackson can see his Bibby more.

    Praise be to God for showing me his glory today through LPM.

    May God continue to Bless all of you.

    I’m so excited to hear this news! Our ladies are always saying, “I wish the men in our church could do a Bible Study like this!” There ARE great studies out there for the guys, just not quite the same format-and yours is a GREAT format. I cannot wait to see what God does through Curtis at Living Proof!
