Dear Family & Friends,

\u00a0\u00a0 Summer is fast approaching and as school bus drivers we are anticipating it as eagerly as all the kids are. This summer also brings many changes for our family due to our upcoming MOVE!

\u00a0\u00a0 We\u2019re excited to share with you that we\u2019ve been accepted to NTM Canada\u2019s cross-cultural missionary training program in Durham, Ontario! Known as \u201cEmanate\u201d, this program is three semesters long with a great scope of classes covering Biblical roots, missional skills and church planting tactics. This will be a valuable time of stretching and growing in many different areas as we seek to become better prepared for reaching the unreached. There are 2,000+ language groups without any access to scripture in their own language and Jesus said to \u201cGo and make disciples of every nation\u201d; so we want to be a part of that in whatever way possible.

\u00a0\u00a0 Prior to heading up there we have a crazy summer mapped out! Apartment move-out date is set for June 30th<\/sup>, so packing is about to get real! We\u2019ve penciled in visits to California, Pennsylvania and Maine to spend some time re-connecting with our families and churches. We also have the joy of attending 4 wedding celebrations and being a part of 2 family reunions.

\u00a0\u00a0 Somewhere in there we will be celebrating our second wedding anniversary (and Tyler\u2019s 23rd<\/sup>\u00a0birthday!). It\u2019s unbelievable how fast these two years have flown and through it all God has been so faithful to us. It is a joy to live life with the one God has lovingly prepared for you when you trust Him to guide you through the highs and lows. We have so much more to learn! \u00a0
\u00a0
\u00a0\u00a0 Speaking of God\u2019s faithfulness\u2026

\u00a0\u00a0 The Lord has been going before us, already raising up a group of people who have expressed their desire to support us as we start this journey. It has truly encouraged our hearts to see God opening those doors. Although it is definitely a time of scary unknowns with potential for worry, we know that God prepared this provision and gift of partners ahead of time which has blown us away and reminded us just how trustworthy He is!
\u00a0
\u00a0\u00a0 Please be praying for us! This is a crazy time of change and transition but we know just as Joshua and the people of Israel knew: “The LORD is the one who goes ahead of you; He will be with you He will not fail you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.” Deut. 31:8\u00a0 \u00a0<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\n\n\n\n
