Exciting Possibilities

December 30, 2018 by Matt and Karissa Long

December 30, 2018
 New potential opportunities on the horizon! Hi everyone,
So, something exciting is happening.  There are some new folks that we are going to start talking to about the potential of joining our team.  Now, I say “start talking” and “potential” because it is all very preliminary.  In order to decide whether we all would be a good fit, we need to spend some time living near each other and start having discussions about various things, including ministry philosophy, family dynamics, views on simplicity, personality compatibility, and church vision.  See, here are the stages of forming a team, according to me 🙂 :
1- Thinking about talking about talking about forming a team
2- Talking about talking about forming a team
3- Talking about forming a team
4- Forming a team
So, we are excited to move from stage 2 to stage 3.  Please pray for us in these discussions, that the things that need to come up for us to talk about would, that we would be wise in our discussions and decisions, and that God would be leading us in unity.
Other than that, things are going well.  Matt continues to teach junior high Bible and work on construction/maintenance at the center nearby.  Karissa continues to homeschool Ty.  Ty and Wyck enjoy playing outside with their friends and playing board games.
We are so thankful for you, and hope you had a wonderful Christmas celebrating our Savior.

Till all know,
Matt, Karissa, Ty, and Wyck
.
Please Pray:

– For wisdom as we start team discussions in March

– That God will guide us all clearly to where He wants us to go

– That God will guide everyone in unity as we make big decisions
 Praise God:

– For this opportunity to talk with new missionaries

– The boys really love PNG and see it as home

– God continues to provide for our needs physically, emotionally, and spiritually
We got to go back for a visit to the village where we had bush orientation.  Ty’s friends were very happy to see him.
