Praises:

We praise God that Park Street Church accepted us as missionaries and is providing us with prayer coverage and partial financial support.

We praise God that YWAM Worcester is a family-centered mission and seems like a great fit for our family.

We praise God that our kids are excited about the move.

We praise God that Phoebe is doing well physically and receiving the services that she needs.  I have attended enough training to be able to continue her care in South Africa, although South Africa has some great medical and therapeutic opportunities.

Prayer requests:

Please pray for us this coming academic year.  All 4 children will be in school, which is a first.  Phoebe will be at a half-day program, which we pray will be helpful.  Ana is entering 11th grade, Isaac is entering 9th grade, and Margaret is entering 4th grade.  This will be Margaret’s first year at school.

Please pray for our preparations for South Africa: that we could have meaningful discussions with folks as we share our vision, and that God would provide the partners we need to reach our fundraising goals.

Please pray for spiritual, emotional, and physical preparations needed before we leave next summer.
