Stewarding Stories in Memphis
Friends,
In 2016, we were blessed to come to Memphis and co-labor with Bill Platten and Fishers of Men, helping eight men step out in faith to share testimonies of God’s faithfulness. Now, ten years later, a growing group of us sense a renewed invitation—a desire and responsibility to create opportunities for others to discover, preserve, and share their stories.
Few people begin ready to share their story. Yet with encouragement, accompaniment, and intentionality, stories that might otherwise remain hidden can be unlocked and offered as gifts to others. Too often, stories of encounter, healing, and transformation are lost, forgotten, or never preserved using the tools of our age.
We envision a future where stories of faith, hope, and love are regularly stewarded with reverence and excellence—where testimonies are not only shared, but honored, preserved, and passed on.
This short video offers a glimpse of what we believe is possible in Memphis. We believe God can do immeasurably more than we ask or imagine when we are willing to step beyond our comfort zones and faithfully steward the testimonies He has entrusted to us.
We are inviting those who feel called to partner with this work through prayer, generosity, and encouragement. The work taking place today—and the work that lies ahead—will require the courage of some who are willing to share their stories, and the generosity of others who are willing to help make that possible.
We believe that when ordinary people respond faithfully to God's invitations, extraordinary things can happen. Our role is simply to offer what we have been given, do what we can do, and trust God with the outcomes.
Thank you for prayerfully considering whether and how the Lord may be inviting you to participate in this greater story.
Peace,
Todd Miechiels
