Thank you so much to those of you who have been praying for us as we have seen our lives change dramatically these past several months. It seems hard to believe that just back in May we were living in Venezuela. Now we are experiencing a completely different type of life in eastern Washington state where we have settled for the first part of our home assignment. We are bracing ourselves for a cold, northwestern winter, unlike the 95 degree Christmas times we have experienced in Venezuela. But we have really enjoyed being able to be close to Shilo’s family during this time, especially for the birth of our second son, Samuel. We have seen God bless us in many ways in providing affordable housing, a vehicle, and the company of family and friends. God has also provided the unexpected opportunity for Brad to teach in a local Christian school for part of the year. We are trusting that God will use his time there to encourage some of the students to consider missions as a viable and much needed career/ministry path.
Many of you have been praying with us as we have sought the Lord’s direction as to where He would have us serve Him next since we had to leave Venezuela. Thanks so much for your prayers. We are happy to report that at this time we feel God is leading us to pursue Paraguay as our next field of service. The NTM field of Paraguay is looking to open up 8 new tribal works in the coming years, and is trusting God to provide the necessary church planting missionaries to meet that goal. With such a potential influx of new missionaries, New Tribes Mission in Paraguay has recently started a new school for MK’s called Chaco Christian Academy. The school is only in its second year, and has a critical need for more teachers in order to meet the educational needs of all the MK’s on the field. So we feel privileged to have a part both in meeting this need, and in facilitating these 8 new tribal church plants through the educational ministry of the school.
