We’re having way too much fun: visiting supporters who are encouraging us in this missionary journey with their prayers, finances, and opening their homes and hearts to us; watching God at work as our travels and studies have really come together.  It’s a missionary’s home assignment dream come true…having moments with family and friends, both spontaneous and planned.  We've learned to be creative in order to preserve Sabbath and rest.

IF you have wondered where we’ve been:

Barb (who is a serious fan of postcards!) has been delighted to surprise friends with cards from Tulsa, Dallas, Seattle, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Arizona, Upper Peninsula of Michigan, lower Michigan, Minnesota again,  Boston, and yes, Minnesota again. We are excited about upcoming travels to Rockford, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, California, and yes, Minnesota again! Did you pick up the fact that we’ve spent a good amount of time in Minnesota?  We’re thankful to all the local churches in Chicago that we’ve connected with and look forward to what this spring holds for us in the Windy City.

Looking ahead to Belgium and beyond!

~We leave Chicago for our return to Europe on June 27, 2012 – excited??!!

~Pray for our remaining time in the US, with supporting churches, family and friends, that we would finish well.

~We praise God for His faithfulness in covering all of our financial needs this year, and look forward to partnering in mission, finances and prayer in 2012.

~Pray us through the transitions that lie ahead of us, as we leave family and friends once again and get involved in the next phase of ministry in Belgium!
