On This Episode of House Hunters…
Six months ago, we were just two months into what we thought would be just one of many more semesters that we would be serving at New Tribes Bible Institute. We love what we get to do here and were not looking to do anything else.
Fast forward six months and we’re sitting on a jet taking us to central Florida where we’re about to spend a week immersed in a hunt, the likes of which we never saw ourselves in. A house hunt!
In the six months I just referred to, we were invited to consider serving in a different but just as vital aspect of church planting. We were training the church planters who would be a few short years away from being in locations around the world. We poured our lives into their lives, hoping to pass on the lessons we had only recently learned in our walk of faith, to these students who were only a few short years from being our co-workers.
But…where do these students come from?
A big part of the answer to that question is found in why we’re moving our family from Michigan to Florida.
Communication…story telling, essentially is why we’re moving. Convinced of the need for Christian’s in churches around the country and around the world to realize their need to be a part of God’s purposes, we’re joining New Tribes Mission’s communications team to be a part of making clear to people what still needs to be done. We want to see even more students coming to NTBI to study God’s word. We wan’t to see even more people around the country understand and take responsibility for what God is calling all Christians to be part of.
That’s why we’re moving to Sanford Florida. That’s why we’re about to enter the home buying fray.
We need you to pray with us every step that this transition and move takes! This week, after seeing God provide finances for us to begin to search for a home, we’ll be seeing many homes as well as looking at some of the possible schools that our kids will attend. It’s a big week for us, all three of us (Bethany’s mom, Lynn Stroud is with us)!
Will you pray that we might find the “impossible”, the right house, in the space of time we have? That’s a big thing to ask, we know, but God can do that!
