You may have been thinking, THEY'RE HAVING A BABY.
Nope.
A few months before our wedding, we were given the opportunity to teach elementary school in Costa Rica. However, that was not our Father’s plan. Instead, He called us to work in Montgomery, starting our marriage off surrounded by a community of family, friends, and others sharing our beliefs. Beginning in July 2015, He has called us to teach English at a Chinese university for two years. Many of our students will be the next generation of China’s leaders, so by teaching them English, we will have a huge impact on the country’s future. We can’t imagine any greater joy than sharing our lives with our students who are desperate for a greater purpose!
We're looking forward to this next year of doing His work in Montgomery and preparing for China. Since we can't do this alone, we are asking members of the Body to thoughtfully consider joining our team of people by lifting us up to the Father, encouraging us, and [if called] giving to this calling financially. He can do immeasurably more than we could imagine, and we are honored that He would want to work through our lives in China.
To Him be the glory.

Ways to lift us up during the next couple of months:
-Ask that we are focused on doing our job to the best we can do and reaching out to those we work with.
-Ask that we are able to love our Family through Him and encourage them always.
-Ask that all of our financial needs for China are met and that we continue trusting in Him in that.
-Ask that we can effectively share our hearts for reaching China to those who are interested in giving.
-Ask that our family is at peace with His calling for us and that fears are overshadowed by His power.
-Ask that we decide which local fellowship to join here in Montgomery very soon!
