We are excited to announce our
imminent departure to the Center for Intercultural Training or, simply, CIT.
About an hour from Ashville, North Carolina, we will spend the next four weeks
taking a class called Equipping for
Cross-Cultural Life & Ministry. During the coming weeks we will study
and learn about spiritual warfare, cross-cultural awareness and communication,
culture stress, reentry, and other subjects. Maleah will also be engaging in
similar instruction on her own level. And Grace will enjoy playing with fellow
missionary toddlers in a daycare on campus. These next few weeks will be very
important to our preparation as missionaries, and we really look forward to how
the Lord will continue to shape our hearts through this time. Please pray for
God’s blessing and protection, and please pray that we will truly be more
equipped to live and to minister among new people groups with new languages and
cultures. THANK YOU!
As a note, we will not be leaving
at the end of December with the Vivian team as we had hoped and prayed. God has
a will and a timing that is better than ours (Isa. 55:8-9; Jer. 29:11). Please
pray that we keep within His will and His timing. We just want to get to
Burkina ON-TIME and in HIS TIME. Please pray that our house sells ASAP, ON-TIME
and in HIS TIME. Please pray that we raise the remainder of our support needed
to go, which right now is around 31% left. And please pray for our language
learning. We have begun to make strides forward in learning French.
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR PRAYERS,
YOUR LOVE, AND YOUR SUPPORT!!! We know that God has a really good work prepared
for us that lies ahead, and we want to be ready for it and walking in it ON-TIME
and in HIS TIME.
