The Buchanans are Moving
Posted by Jeff on August 12, 2009 · 8 Comments
My apologies to everyone who may be hearing this for the first time via blog. It’s is not the preferred or ideal way to communicate news like this but I do want to make sure that people are in the loop, especially those who we have walked with for the past several years.
Angela and I are officially moving to Orlando! After much prayer and counsel, we believe that the Lord is moving us into a new season of our lives. As many of you may know, my church, New Song Christian Fellowship, has graciously released me to work for Exodus International for the past year and a half. I am now at the point in my position that I can no longer continue to effectively serve Exodus long distance. As we began the process of considering this move with the Exodus team, the opportunity arose for Angela to also come on board and serve in the area of communications. As we processed this together and with our team at New Song, it quickly became apparent that the Lord was calling us to Orlando.
We have put our home on the market as of yesterday and we will relocate once the house sells. As this is a significant transition and step of faith for both of us, we covet your prayers. Please pray for the quick sale of our home. We believe that the Lord has a specific buyer and that He wants to reveal Himself through this situation. Also, pray for God’s grace and provision for us in this next season. We truly desire to find the home that He would have for us in this next chapter of our lives.
While we are excited about new beginnings, it is certainly a bittersweet experience. We have lived in Nashville for the past 15 years and we both love our church family very much. I will never be able to adequately express my gratitude to those at New Song who have had such an instrumental part in my spiritual growth. You have made an eternal investment.
We will be keeping everyone in touch with this transition and our work with Exodus International via newsletter as we will be receiving missions support from our church. If you would like to be on our mailing list, please let me know.
Thank you for the place you have had in our lives and we are excited to share this journey with you!
Blessings!
Jeff & Angela Buchanan
I for one am thrilled and will be praying for you and Angela every step of the way.
WOOO HOOO! Can’t wait to have you both in O’town.
wow.
couldn’t you come up with a blog title that was a little easier on the heart?
something that could ease me into this HUGE news?
…just kidding…
im sad. im thrilled.
i look forward to the future with you.
i love you and Angela dearly.
life is short…and these seasons are precious.
you have blessed and impacted my life more than you will EVER know.
praying for you my friends.

Very exciting…but you’re about 7 years too late. We’ve already been there and done that.
I am so happy for you guys!! Contrary to popular belief, Nashville is not the end all for everyone!! Sometimes you MUST leave the place the Lord has grounded you in so he can “knock it down, to build it up” and make you guys stronger in your ministry calling.
I am totally thrilled in how the Lord has touched and changed your life so much! I’ve seen some of the journey and sadly missed these last 6 years of amazing growth!! You and Angela are in store for some miraculous moves of God!! I look forward to seeing AND hearing about all the wonderful things that are coming your way!!
Much love and success to you guys!!
Congratulations with all that God is doing through you. May you and Angela find He uses you to set many “prisoners” free. For “He whom the Son sets free is free – indeed!”
I wish God’s richest blessings on you.
Paul had many years with you….but I have been so blessed in these last three. Thank you for all the ways you and Angela have poured yourselves out to us, helping us to grow into the leaders the Lord has destined us to be. We love you and will miss you dearly.
i’m just a teensy-tiny bit excited…no, a little bit more than that.
oh-hurray-hurray!!!!
