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!
