Another Change!

Thank you so much for your prayer for us during the last several months. We have some important news to share with you.

Over the last year and a half, Amanda and I have been planning on our move to Louisville, where I would finish my seminary education. We had hoped to go in the fall of last year, but when our house did not sell, we found ourselves pushing seminary to this fall.

So, in the last six months, I’ve made a trip to Louisville, called apartment complexes, looked for a job, and made plans as to how to survive financially without taking out loans. I visited churches, and met with friends of ours in the area.

However, there remained a certain amount of unrest and lack of peace with our planned move.

Then in the last couple weeks, through a series of events, God seemed to be communicating that while I should finish seminary, we should not move to Louisville.

With hesitation and prayer, we began to re-investigate what we believed to be God’s plan for us during the next few years. After much discussion, prayer, thinking, and getting advice, we came to the decision that we will be staying in the Kansas City area, while I finish seminary through distance education and modular courses.

The decision on our part as been very difficult, especially since we had been building up to make the opposite decision for the last year or so. But we are confident that this will be the best thing for our family, for our ministry, and the health of our souls. Amanda and I both believe that what God is planning for us here will be very important for our future ministry.

I look forward to sharing with you more in the coming months. For now, if you support us financially, please continue to do what you’ve done. And please be in prayer for us, as God’s plan for us crystalizes, and gains clarity.
