In our previous episode\u2026<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

We hinted at a visit to snowy Canada, specifically Durham Ontario, where Ethnos Canada is headquartered. Their campus includes offices, a training center, and an academy.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since then\u2026<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We were excited to learn about the possibility of serving in Canada<\/strong>, where we were invited to consider joining the team at Ethnos Canada. We are confident that we could serve well with them, and we loved the idea of being a part of the discipleship process for students. We were also drawn to the location, as it would be a good fit for our family. Don\u2019t take our word for it, see what we mean!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What now? <\/strong>We aren\u2019t sure yet. While we love so much about this possibility, there are big implications to a move like this and we\u2019re weighing that out carefully. We hope to have a better idea of if this is a move for us, in the coming months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joel\u2019s continued to work on several projects<\/strong> in the media center including a podcast for Ethnos360 and it\u2019s partners and a documentary chronicling the journey God\u2019s Word made as it was translated and presented to a people group in Thailand this past Fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also have a clear understanding of the debt we need to deal with<\/strong> from last year. As you may remember, we never received any reimbursement for the out-of-pocket cost to us for Lynn\u2019s ALF costs and we also had several medical emergencies and tax liability. The number is daunting. But God\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coming up\u2026<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Joel is helping the Ethnos360 team as they focus on digital marketing.<\/strong> This is part of how we speak the language of our day and age and CONNECT people who are primed and ready to take big steps for the Lord but don\u2019t see where and how. They plan to use methods honed in the for-profit world to create some eternally impactful profit, as we ask the Lord to use us to mobilize and invite in more Christians. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we deal with the debt, Bethany is taking on some outside the home work<\/strong> to help us do all that we can to pay it off. We know it\u2019s only for a season and believe that God could make the amount disappear in the blink of an eye, if He chose. But we also feel the need to be fiscally responsible and do what we can to pay it off. We\u2019re counting on your fervent prayers for the Lord to provide for us, HOWEVER he chooses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
If He moves you to help, you can give here<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

All this to say, we\u2019re not moving fast about anything right now. We\u2019re trying to keep it slow, like one day at a time slow and looking to God for each day\u2019s needed grace and clarity. And we invite you to pray for that for us, and for yourselves. We are confident that He will NEVER fail us.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
