So I just sent out an email letting many people know that we now have a blog site. Interestingly enough, I realized that many of those people (possibly you), may not even know what is going on in our lives. So here goes.
Megan and I had been aproached in January about possibly moving overseas to share the gospel message with people that don't have access to it. If you're not sure what this message is, I would encourage you to click on the link to the right labeled "How to Meet Jesus" and watch the video that comes up. Anyway, our friends Mike and Tippy, have been actively pursuing a way to serve God in another country for several years now and it would seem as though all the doors are open for them to do so. Mike is training to be a pilot so he can escort missionaries, doctors, medical supplies and much more into remote locations that cannot typically be accessed by car or boat. He and Tippy asked Megan and I if we would like to go with them and use my mechanical skills to help them maintain the planes that these pilots are flying. After much prayer and thought, Megan and I agreed to pursue this with them.
So if you were not sure why I had to quit my job in the first post, this is why. We are currently packing to move to Grand Rapids Michigan to begin both Airplane and Bible training. Not sure exactly which country we will end up in. We will spend the next year or so trying to figure that part out.
Things are moving along. We had a going away party yesterday and for all of you who were there, we thank you for your encouragement. We are excited to go yet to leave so much of what and who we love has been and is going to be difficult. Please pray for us. Please don't forget us. Anyway, more to come as we arrive in Grand Rapids in the coming days.

We missed you too. Our thoughts are with you as you settle into you new home and community. More importantly, we pray the Lord will direct you to a new church home that will give you opportunities to both serve and to be served. We look forward to hearing about your transition and the blessing granted by our gracious Father.
