Imagining the Impossible...

Honestly, some aspects of our upcoming move to Australia seem impossible right now (house hasn't sold, visas haven't arrived, etc.).  In addition, the more we read about sharing the gospel with Australians (the majority don't want anything to do with Jesus or religion), and serving internationally (only 1 in 6 overseas missionaries complete their first term and return for another), the more we have felt fearful and nervous about what we're embarking on...

But in the midst of our own fears and small faith we believe we are finally coming to the end of ourselves and maybe just beginning to really trust in God's strong power. We can totally relate to the man who told Jesus "Yes Lord, I believe! Now help my unbelief..." Mark 9:24

God is increasing our faith. Instead of nightmares about what may or may not happen, we're dreaming about the impossible. It's a great place to be.



"God is looking for people through whom He can do the impossible. What a pity we plan to do only the things we can do by ourselves." -A.W. Tozer

We appreciate your Prayers...

  • We're praying that our Immigration Sponsorship & Visas will be approved quickly so we can report to our new assignment in Melbourne, Australia.
  • Please pray that wherever we are, we will gladly share the good news of Jesus with people who haven't heard it, or didn't realize it's good news to them. Pray we would be quick to show love to those around us with our words & our actions.
  • For the boys (Isaiah and Elijah): we praise God these wonderful little boys. Pray that we will train them up in the way that they should go, and that we will savor the moments we have with them. A friend once told us "Enjoy it, because the days are long, but the years are short..." Each day with these boys is a gift.
