As you can tell, the first quarter of 2010 has quickly become jam-packed, and we are excited to see what God has in store for May and beyond! Thank you all very much for your continued prayers and support! Have a very happy Thanksgiving!

Hope, an Operation Mobilization ship, whose purpose is “bringing knowledge, help and hope to the people of the world.” Their goal is to “bring aid and relief as an outworking of God’s love, through any possible means”[www.logoshope.org]. As part of a two-week team, we will be assigned to whatever area of the ship is in need of assistance and working there as our “8-to-5” job for the time we are on board. Shortly after the Logos Hope trip, we will head to Europe to work with MCYM/ Club Beyond. MCYM, which stands for Military Community Youth Ministry, works with the youth of military personnel, over 300,000 of whom live on bases outside of the United States. Of those bases, only a handful have any form of youth ministry whatsoever. That is where MCYM comes in. Tim & Angella Cole, who serve with MCYM/Club Beyond in Belgium, will be our main host family for our time in Europe.  The first couple of weeks we will be helping them lead their Junior High group on a service project trip to Germany.   From mid-February through March, Tim has set up several places for us to perform fill-in ministry for staff members who

Hello Everyone, We hope this November letter finds you well!   This season is by default one of the busiest of the year, and with all of our preparations to take off at the end of December, we feel as if we are in something of a whirlwind! We cannot express enough how very thankful we are for all of the love and prayers and support you have extended to us since we sent out our first letter last month.   It is so exciting to watch how God is bringing all of the details together! At the advice of our pastors and our church's missions board, we will be attending Urbana, Intervarsity's 22nd Student Missions Conference, in St. Louis at the end of December.  Urbana’s website says: “if you want to be challenged by the spiritual and physical needs of the world and get connected to opportunities to participate in God's mission, sign up for Urbana 09”  [www.Urbana09.org].  It is our sincere prayer that we will glean much wisdom from the seminars and make many good connections with other missions organizations with whom we may share our vision for coming alongside those in the field. Our first adventure will be serving aboard the Logos
