In order to fulfill the calling on his life, Jeoffrey realizes that God has called him
to be a teacher and minister of the Word, and a minstrel to write and compose
songs and music inspiring, strengthening and healing the body of Christ.
It is his passion and purpose to let the world know that "to live is Christ and
to die is gain" and to motivate, convict, and direct sinners who don't know Him yet,
into a full and eternal relationship with Christ.
God has blessed Leslie with the gifts of exortation and administration. Her perspective is,
'if God has taken me through it, He has done it that He might be glorified and also to bless
someone else's life'. The Lord exorts us to comfort others with the comfort He gives us when
we go through life's battles. "Each victory will help us, some other to win!" She never wants
to withhold her testimony from others because she knows that God is the same yesterday, today
and forever; and if He's done a work in her life, He can do the same thing for someone else.
God has also made Leslie an administrator -- People don't plan to fail. They just fail to
plan. She purposes to strive for excellence in all that she does.
As a unit, it is the future Thompson's desire to allow God to use their lives and their marriage as a
testimony of His goodness and His faithfulness. They realize that God's faithfulness is
not shown by our works, but through His works in us. His will can only be done when a strength
exchange occurs - "His strength is made perfect in our weakness". He is teaching them this lesson,
through their trials and mistakes, as well as their obedience to His will.
Jeoffrey and Leslie are committed to joining the body of Christ in it's mission to share God's love with the world!
