I haven’t known Joel for a super long time, but I have known him since he has come to Carrollton. I knew his dad from years ago, back in my youth ministry days. Joel had been hired as the minister of Cross Plains Christian Church. It’s been amazing to get to know him and Jessica, watch their influence and see their ministry blossom here in Carrollton. They have two sweet girls and a son. I would also love to take a moment and congratulate Joel and Jessica on their new addition, Rhett, who just made his appearance into this world this past Friday, May 8th! It was cool, because I was already planning on posting this on Friday and had picked them as my “Clients of the Week”, when he sent me a picture of their sweet little baby boy! What amazing timing! I am very thankful for them and their friendship.
One really awesome thing that happened recently, was that Jessica’s former youth minister, Joe Caputo, and his wife, Lisa, came to visit in Carrollton. Turns out Lisa had Kentucky roots. In fact, she was from the same area of Kentucky that I was from. So we got to meet them at City Station, and oh my goodness, it just blessed me, my brother and my parents to see someone we knew from years ago. It was so cool to see how the world connects and more importantly how the family of God connects..
I have known lots of good, good people from Cross Plains. They have benefited from Joel and Jessica’s ministry there. They are now making a transition and moving to Newnan, as he has taken a position at a Legacy Christian Church. Their house is going on the market soon. I know the community of Carrollton will miss them. I am really, really thankful for them and I am blessed by their friendship.
For these reasons and many more, I would like to honor Joel and Jessica Eynon as my “Clients of the Month.”
