Looking forward to Haiti!

Erin and I are excited to announce that we have been officially assigned to serve with MAF in Port-au-Prince, Haiti!  MAF plays a vital role in Haiti - supporting the Haitian churches, and enabling many church mission teams and NGO's in their ministry efforts.   We are excited to receive this assignment and feel it will be a great fit for our family!  We are looking forward to connecting more with the rest of the team that is already serving, and learning as much as we can about the program as we move into our next steps in our journey into the Lord's service.

Thank you to everyone who has mentored us and encouraged us over the years as we have considered and responded to the calling the Lord has placed on our hearts.  We are eager to join the Lord where He is already at work, and see lives become transformed by the power of the gospel!

Exciting week ahead

Thank you to everyone who has been supporting us through prayer for our first week of candidacy at MAF!  We have shared great fellowship with staff and other newcomers in our class, and have been greatly blessed to hear story after story of how God is powerfully working through MAF's ministry. Elsie and Sammy have been enjoying themselves with other kiddos their age too, as you can see from the video!

We will meet with the candidacy committee Monday afternoon to receive our regional assignment (Africa, Latin America, Asia, etc.) and will receive our base assignment later in the upcoming week. These upcoming weeks are going to be busy for us as we continue our training for sharing what our future ministry will look like with MAF.  We ask you to continue praying for us in the following ways:

-  For strength and energy to learn all we can during our training here
-  For continued peace and trust of where God is leading us
-  For Elsie, Sammy, and Isaiah to continue to share joyful times with new friends

Erin and I hope you and your families are enjoying great times this summer!  We will share our exciting news as soon as we are able this coming week!
