We have so much to tell you and don’t know where to begin! There are many exciting things happening in our lives right now. We are thrilled to see how God will be using our lives over this next year!
Finished with Training
First off, we finished our training in Canada and will officially become members of New Tribes Mission on February 1st. We could not have done this without lots of prayer and support, so thanks a million to all of you who have been praying and giving! We moved back from Canada right before Christmas and have been spending the past few weeks with family and friends. We are excited and blessed to moving back into the church house (the same house we lived in our first year of marriage) in Arlington Heights, IL on January 21st!
Colombia!
The second major news update is that we have finally settled on a country or “field” to serve in; Colombia, South America. We feel that this is where the Lord is leading us and we will take this next year to raise the support we need to move there by the end of the year. There is a big need for church planters in Colombia as they are trying to reach 5 completely unreached tribes in the next 2 years.
Family Matters
The final big news is that we are expecting baby #2. That’s right, we are going to be a family of four. We feel so blessed with another baby on the way and are excited that both of our families will be able to meet and get to know this baby before we leave for Colombia. We are a bit nervous as to how crazy our lives will be with two little ones only 14 months apart, but we know how awesome Eli is and are so excited for #2!
As this next year is full of new goals and challenges, we are trusting that God will use us where we are at, even as we are eager to be overseas. In order for us to get to Colombia by the end of the year, we need to have raised a monthly support of $4,550. This amount covers everything from food, insurance, rent, office supplies to a host of other things. At this point, we receive $1,040 per month. We are off to a good start, but still have a ways to go in our support raising. We know that with God, all things are possible.
