In this episode of We Are Vineyard, Jay talks with Paul Watson about the little neighbor lady who introduced his whole family to Christ, being pursued by the Lord as a mischievous teenager, and the life choices that seemingly disrupted the call he felt on his life. Paul describes the relentless pursuit of the Lord in bringing about that calling, and what has kept him faithful to the ministry despite the trials he has experienced in the church. Jay and Paul also talk discuss the power of invitation.
Paul Watson is the new regional leader for the Mountain Region and is the founding Pastor of the Downtown Vineyard Church in Grand Junction, Colorado. He and his wife Linnea planted the Downtown Vineyard Church in 2008 after feeling a very strong invitation from the Lord, and seven years ago, they purchased the very same building they both committed their lives to Christ while in High School. This year marks 35 years of church ministry as a Vineyard Pastor.
Paul and his wife Linnea have been happily married for 35 years, and they are incredibly proud of her and their kids Brian (Bonnie) and Brittany (Andy). They have been together since they were both in middle school. Paul is an avid outdoorsman who enjoys biking, fly fishing, camping, golfing, and other sports. He also loves baking bread, playing guitar, reading and writing poetry.
