Dear Friends and Family<\/em>,
\u00a0 \u00a0Now that our training is completed and our beautiful baby is healthy and growing, what’s next?\u00a0\u00a0<\/em>

\u00a0 \u00a0Our goal this year is to make preparations to move to Asia-Pacific!\u00a0 The plan is to arrive there in March of 2020.\u00a0 In the meantime, we are looking to serve the church and develop partnerships with believers who want to be a part of what God is doing in Asia-Pacific\u2014reaching the unreached with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.\u00a0 That means that we will be traveling around the country making connections in order to\u00a0encourage others\u00a0and see how God wants to provide for this ministry.\u00a0 This is His work and He is the Provider.

Asia-Pacific<\/strong>
– 4th largest population
– More than 700 individual language groups
– More than 350 of those need the Bible translated into their heart language<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0 \u00a0In English we have over 400 different translations of the Bible and churches on seemingly every street in North America.\u00a0 However, millions of people in Asia-Pacific don’t have a Bible translated in their own language and have no access to a church.\u00a0 They need someone to learn their language and culture, translate the Bible, and teach them what it means.\u00a0 We want to be a part of doing that for one of the language groups there. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
2019 Travel Schedule<\/strong>
June – Brother’s wedding in Michigan
July – Redding, California
August – Northern Maine
September – North Carolina\u00a0
Traveling may not be our favorite pastime (especially with a baby!)\u00a0but we count it a privilege to share what God is doing with believers all over.\u00a0 We also get to see lots of family and great friends along the way.<\/em><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\n\n\n\n

      Bonus Reading<\/strong>

      \u00a0 \u00a0Moriah is doing really well\u2014she\u2019s been learning a lot in her 2 months of life, but we’ve probably learned just as much from her!\u00a0 She doesn’t like to sleep so much, but she does like being held so we are soaking in the snuggles!
      We have learned in a whole new way what God means when He says that He loves us like a father.\u00a0 No matter what Moriah does, we love her.\u00a0 It\u2019s unconditional. The same is true of our heavenly Father\u2014even if we are difficult or disobedient, He loves us unconditionally!\u00a0 That’s incredible.

      \u00a0 \u00a0I have been encouraged lately by the fact that God’s Story\u2014History\u2014as recorded in the Bible, is all one cohesive story.\u00a0 From the very beginning when man rebelled against God in the Garden of Eden, God has been pursuing mankind to win our hearts back to Himself.\u00a0 His desire is for everyone to accept the price He paid on the cross for our redemption.\u00a0 That\u2019s what we just celebrated on Easter.\u00a0 And now, as Christians, we have the honor and privilege of telling the world about this God of love who is pursuing them and has been since the beginning.\u00a0 We get to fit into God’s Story and there is no greater privilege on earth than to partner with the Lord of the Universe and see man return to Him\u2014freed from the grip of Satan.

      \u00a0 \u00a0As Paul put it in\u00a0Ephesians 3:7-8, \u201cBy God’s grace and mighty power, I have been given the privilege of serving Him by spreading this Good News. \u00a0(8) Though I am the least deserving of all God’s people, He graciously gave me the privilege of telling the Gentiles about the endless treasures available to them in Christ.\u201d
