If you logged on, it means you care ... Thanks :).




So now here's what you need to know ...

We’ve moved! And we’re just gonna keep on movin’ …

The Father has put it upon our hearts to spend this next year (Oct. 2006- June 2007) exploring His work around the World … so in just a few short months, we will be setting off for a journey that is yet to be fully defined, but goes something like this:

Ø Bouncing from country to country staying with those who are there to share the Passion that lives within us. We will also be visiting several friends who are national locals and we are hopeful to introduce them to our best Friend and Brother!

Ø Once there, joining in life and work, with the hope of bringing some love and refreshment to those who have dedicated their lives to a foreign country for the sake of the Truth.

Ø Yet unknown goodness from our Father's hands …

While we're away, our family will be receiving mail for us at PO Box 2927, Big Bear Lake, CA 92315.

A rough sketch of our itinerary ...


Nothing is "for sure" until we have tickets in our hands, but here's an idea of where we think we'll be over the next year:
  • Istanbul, Turkey
  • Cape Town, South Africa
  • Kigoma, Tanzania
  • Bombay, India
  • Delhi, India
  • Kathmandu, Nepal
  • Dhaka, Bangladesh
  • Bangkok, Thailand
  • Vietnam
  • China
  • Brisbane, Australia

Why are we doing this?

We have been asked by many whether this is a vacation or a trip with greater purpose, especially to share the Truth of our Father. It is both.

We don't see the two as exclusive; living in light of the mission our Father has given us is the same no matter where we are!

We would be lying if we said we weren't excited about breaking away from American culture for a bit and exploring this great world, but it would be empty for just that. For a long time now we've wanted to be able to connect with those who have left home and family to spread the Truth, and so this journey developed. Our purpose and activities will be different in each place and with each person, but we have been AMAZED at the itinerary our Father is opening doors for!

When all is said and done, it boils down to this: To take the adventure that the Father brings, and to pour into those who are constantly pouring out.
