Hello, Prayer Warriors. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year. Wait, it's already February!?!? Lest you think we've forgotten we are moving to Africa, I figured we had better give you an update.
First, we want to give God the glory for all He is doing - HE has been the One moving...

Our God is gracious!

Some of you have asked what the kids think about Malawi. Well, I am so proud of them! Today, we spent several hours going through toys and other belongings, and there was not one complaint about downsizing. Asher and Annika fit everything they wanted to keep into one cardboard box each, and Aric...
It's official!

It is official! We got word this morning that we were approved and are going to Malawi! But that wasn't enough from the Giver of all things: the board also voted to send our friends Ray and Jen and their family! (Ray introduced us to Malawi and Orant and lead our trip to Malawi). They have...
Budget - check.

Well, we've submitted our budget proposal to ORANT. They have still floated the month of March but we are not sure it will happen that quickly.

Going Live!

Hesitantly moving forward

Our meeting went well on Thursday. One board member used the word "like-minded," and we agree - it seems like God has given us all a similar vision and heart for the people in Malawi. Our next steps involve creating a budget proposal and attending the November board meeting. We are both excited and...

What is a Missionary?

A missionary is someone sent by Jesus Christ just as He was sent by God. The great controlling factor is not the needs of people, but the command of Jesus. The source of our inspiration in our...
The waiting
10/24/2013 09:44
Well, it's been awhile since I've written, but there really hasn't been much to say as we've just seemed to be in a season of waiting and prayer. But...yesterday we finally got the promised phone call to meet with the rest of the board from Orant. We have one week to amp up our prayers! We'll be...
