Ministry Update Video, December 2015
These past two months have been very interesting, filled with many blessings and several big surprises. God has been so good to us and we can clearly see His hand leading us. First I would like to share a video update, which includes some pictures and clips of where we live, the Lazkoa church where we serve, and a few blessings from these past weeks.
After the video I will mention a big change that has taken place in our work situation here.

"It didn't take the Lord by surprise!"
I have found myself repeating that sentence several times these last few days. For the past year the English academy (and their accountants/legal advisers) assured us that we would be able to come over and work. Yesterday, after weeks of meetings with lawyers and government officials, we found out definitively that I will be unable to legally work here for the time being. Because of complicated immigration laws it will not be possible for me to teach at the English academy. Even though we don't understand why, we have to accept this as the Lord’s leading. It will be very hard to say goodbye to the students I met at the academy, but when the Lord closes one door, He always opens another. We are praying that this will give us more opportunities to share the gospel in our town. We will also use this time to focus on our language studies (Jordan with Spanish; me with Basque), as well as get more involved in the ministries at the church and farmhouse. I plan to pick up some private English classes in the future.
