Dear Vineyard Family,  

I’m writing to let you know that after twenty-six wonderful years, Dianne and I  are leaving Vineyard for a new adventure in The Netherlands. I’ve accepted the  position of Senior Pastor at Crossroads International Church and we’ll be  transitioning there this spring.  

Though we’re sad to leave family and so many dear friends, Dianne and I never  want to stop saying “yes” to Jesus’ invitations, listening for his voice and  following his lead. This next chapter, as improbable as it might have been a year  ago, is an opportunity that draws on our life experience, gifting and calling, while  bringing together so many of the threads God has lovingly woven into our lives.  

That said, you should know that this past year, working alongside Pastor Mark  Stephenson has been a delight. I couldn’t be happier about all that God is doing  here at Vineyard. Mark has more than earned my trust and I’m blessed to be his  friend. I know the future is bright and the church here in Overland Park is in  faithful and capable hands.  
One last request, would you please consider praying for us? A move of this  kind is full of unknowns and seemingly endless details. Your prayers for us in  this season would mean so much. In fact, we would love to build a prayer team  of friends who would agree to faithfully pray for our ministry in Europe. If you’d  like to join the team and receive regular updates, drop me a line at  markvictorwarner@proton.me.  

Our time at VCC has been filled with joy. It’s been a blessing beyond words to  lead this church and journey through life with you. Though the Lord is inviting us  to a new chapter, we love you all.  

Your friend,  
Mark (and Dianne) Warner
