BIG news

Alot of things have been changing recently, and it's clear to us that God is leading us on another big adventure!

While we were in Canada, we visited a base 10 minutes from Nathan's house, and discovered they have a heart for the 10/40 window, which is where Nathan and my heart have been for a long time. Nathan and I plan to go back there after the baby is born, and continue serving in missions there. However, to do this is going to cost quite a bit of money... For plane tickets, language school for Nathan, and for rent, which in the country we're going you pay ahead by 6 months.  As well as the fact that we are about to have a baby, which isn't cheap!

When we were visiting, Nathan's dad offered Nathan work on the farm, and we can save everything because they also have a place for us to stay for free. So this will help us to save all we need for China, while I continue working in YWAM there as well.

Another thing we found out is that I do qualify for free healthcare, which would mean we don't have to pay an arm and a leg to have our baby either.

All of this has been growing in our hearts for quite a while, since last year, but the way wasn't clear until very recently. Our base leader feels this is the wise choice as well and is sending us out from here, with Mexico being our home base.

We are sad to leave all of those we love and care about, as we've been here for 2 1/2 years already, and our relationships here run deep. We've watched friends children grow up, and seen many things grow and change in this ministry in this time... It's not easy to say goodbye.

But, we know that our next step is what God has been calling us to do. We're so excited to see this progress, as we've been preparing for the last couple years for this very thing.

This doesn't change anything as far as support goes for those of you supporting us. This base will continue to process our support as we are being sent out from here to places YWAM isn't official.

We love you guys and thank you for all your support as we contine on in this calling as missionaries!
