It is with great sadness that I write to you today to formally announce the end our Appointee status with HCJB Global. Despite our best efforts, we have been unable to make progress in our Deputation and support raising endeavors. We have come to feel strongly that the Lord is telling us that this is a closed door. And you should know that this is our decision, unprompted by HCJB Global.

We still believe strongly in the ministries of HCJB Global, and would encourage all of our readers to get involved personally with a ministry or missionary.

As much as we would have liked to have worked on the Missions Field, we would be ineffective if we were there outside of the Lord's plan. Someday, if the Lord leads, we may try again. For now we will be contacting our existing supporters to inform them of our decision and are starting to think about where to go from here.

Thank you all for your prayers, support, interest, friendship & love.

I also want take a moment to address a few of obvious questions:

What happens to the money that we have already raised?
All the money collected, belongs to HCJB Global and cannot be refunded as they were tax deductible donations. We plan on making a recommendation for a special need or project in the near future. We will make another post once we have made a decision.

What is the fate of this blog?
Undecided. We have talked about transitioning it to a family blog as we already have a number of readers.

What are our plans now?
Also undecided. But we are intending to remain in North Carolina indefinitely. We have come to enjoy living here, have made friends, and there are plenty of opportunities to make a life here.

Thanks and God Bless.
