Hey there...My name is John Alice and I am happily married to my wife of 11 years Erin. We have five children; Tawna, Austin, Hailey, Isabel, & E-beth. I also happen to be the Pastor of Old Fort Church in the Northern Midwestern part of Ohio. God has done so many things in my life from being a church planter in a YMCA to fostering up to 14 different children in our house. There have been many struggles along the way with infertility, Isabel's Aperts Syndrome, and the challenges of raising five children. However, God has always met me in times of struggle and walked with me through these real life issues.
Check out the new pictures that I have uploaded from our family vacation in Gatlinburg, TN. We had a blast with Grandpa & Grandma Alice! Just scroll down through my Blog and they will appear on the right hand side. Blessings, Your Dreaming Pastor

My Dream
My dream is to be used by God to help others walk through the real struggles of life in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. My dream is to help the church speak the language of the culture through innovation, change, and risk taking. My dream is to help people discover the potential in their life for God to work in them, for them, and through them. What would it look like if we all tapped into the gifts and abilities God has given us to change the world? I pray that my life has an eternal impact and contributes to the growth of the Kingdom of God. I invite you to dream with me as we walk the journey of life together.

What is this blog thing all about anyway?
Did you know that blogging can be found in scripture? I felt the following verse summarized the basic concept of this page...
"He drew me up from the pit of destruction, out of the miry BLOG, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure." Psalm 40:2 ESV
OK, well almost...so I added an "l" to the word "bog". But this verse does come close to what this is about. You can expect a lot of random ramblings about life & family...particularly struggles and issues that have caused me to trudge through the miry bog and even the pit of life...only to see God's power raise me up out of those moments.
