Hello Dear Family and Friends!!

We have some exciting news and updates to share - here are a few highlights from the last couple months! Update #1: It’s a Girl!!! On September 21st we headed to the doctor’s office to find out that we are expecting a baby girl! She is very healthy, has a strong heartbeat, and is growing well. When we arrived home that evening, we were surprised by a driveway full of cars and a surprise ‘gender revealing’ party! We are very excited and we hope that you will join us in praying for her.

Update #2: Midwest here we come! Jim and I have put together a schedule for our visit to the Midwest. We look forward to seeing as many of you as we can and will be in touch with each of you in the coming weeks. October 12 - 20: Minneapolis November 17 - 20: Nebraska October 20 - Nov 2: Fergus Falls November 20 - Dec 1: Minneapolis November 3 - 16: Fargo/Moorhead December 2 - 9: Wisconsin Update #3: We’ve been officially invited to join the Youth World Team!

For those of you that haven’t heard, about one week after returning from our vision trip to Ecuador (Aug 2-13), we were contacted by Paul Reichert, El Refugio’s Director, and received an official call to join their team. The vision trip itself was a time of strong confirmation and we left with an even clearer vision of the ministry that God is calling us to there - we gladly accepted and are now officially raising support in order to go to Ecuador!
