Detour through North Carolina
Sunday, October 14, 2007 @ 4:13 PM
I have big news to share with you today... Sarah and I are moving... but not to Colorado (not yet anyway) but rather to Raleigh, North Carolina.

The company that I work for is closing down their Michigan branch and has asked me to relocate. After much prayer and research, we don't feel that finding new work in Michigan is an option and we need to have a steady income until we can be missionaries with HCJB Global. More importantly than all that, we truly feel that the Lord is leading us to accept the relocation.

It wasn't an easy decision, we know moving far from our friends and family is going to be tough and in many ways it feels counter productive to our goal of working with HCJB Global in Colorado. But I assure you we haven't given up that goal and we are still working to raise the support we need to move out there as missionaries. We continue to ask you to consider partnering with our ministry.

As for the move, we are excited about the path ahead of us. We actually had a chance to fly down to Raleigh the first week of October. North Carolina is a beautiful state, and we are looking forward to the challenges and adventures that await us there.

We would ask that you be praying for us during this transitional time.
Some specific points...

  • that the move will go well and we will adjust quickly to living in Raleigh

  • that we will be able to find comfortable and affordable housing which has thus far been difficult since the cost of living there is a bit higher

  • that we will be able to find a church family where we readily fit in and are able to serve, worship and fellowship

  • that opportunities will open for new ministry partners both here and in North Carolina

  • that God would go before us and continue to guide us through this next chapter of our ministry

Thank you and God Bless.
