Arrival in the Basque Region!

10/29/2015

 
This last week has felt like the culmination of many months of prayers, preparation, and traveling. We have finally arrived at our mission field and we are excited about beginning our ministry here. Thank you to everyone who has helped us make it to the field. For the next few weeks we will be living at my parents' apartment while we look for our own place.

It was a great blessing to once again be a part of the worship services at the Lazkao church this past Sunday. The two other missionary families are out of the country for a while. We will be working closely with the Dodgens these next weeks in order to keep the various ministries going.

Welcome to Euskadi (The Basque Country)

Jordan will have many cultural adjustments as she begins to set up our home and learns about the unique culture and customs of the Basque people.

On Thursday, Jordan's parents and sister met us in Atlanta to see us off. Though it was hard to say goodbye, we are all thankful for God leading us to serve Him in Spain.
Prayer Requests and Praises

Praise:
-Our safe and uneventful trip to Zegama.

-The generosity of our friends and sending church, and their help in getting us to the field. 

Prayer requests: 

-One of our main prayer requests these next few weeks is our search and purchase of a used car. We are doing a lot of research these days and we are finding that a used car in Europe is quite a bit more expensive than a similar car in the US. (too bad we couldn't just bring our Camry over!). If you want to find out more about the kind of car we are looking for, and the prices we are finding, go here:

-Diligence and focus for Jordan's Spanish studies, as well as her testimony with her English students.


Commissioning Service and Departure to Spain

10/22/2015

 

Commissioning Service at Asaville

This past Sunday we had our commissioning service at Asaville. We enjoyed a bittersweet morning and afternoon of fellowship, as we said our goodbyes. After the morning service, there was a church wide lunch. We will miss our church family very much, but we are excited about this next step God is leading us on. Our church friends continually assure us of their prayers. We truly feel blessed to have a church family that is 100% behind us as we head to Spain.

​Departure to Spain

Jordan and I will be flying from Atlanta to Madrid this Thursday (Oct 22). We should arrive in the Basque Region by Friday afternoon. We will be staying in my parents' apartment for the next weeks (while they are on a short furlough) as we begin looking for our own place. We will be jumping right in to the ministries at the Lazkao church. I will begin preaching for one of the morning sessions starting this Sunday.

​Support Update

​
We are officially at 63% of our monthly support goal! Additionally, we have had several friends express their interest in supporting us. God is providing for us in unique ways. Two or three individuals in Spain have contacted me asking for English tutoring. Jordan will be able to pick up a few of these English classes which will be a great help financially. We are both rejoicing at God's provision! He has proved Himself very faithful these past months as He has burdened family and friends to support our ministry in Spain. To God be the glory!
