A month-end update

The past month has been spent unpacking, rediscovering old things (thank you everyone for the wedding gifts), becoming official Colorado residents, and visiting and filling out paperwork at Mission Training International, our new ministry.

Since we've mentioned God's abundant generosity to us in this time, we thought we'd share some of the multiple praises that we have for His provision in this time.

- Several financial gifts to help with this time of transition

- A bed and dresser for Gideon

- a shelving unit and desk

- a running stroller

-An apartment to rent for a time that is VERY affordable!

Then on October 28 we began our first session of COMPASS, the missionary pre-field training at MTI. This month MTI has asked us to audit the course as participants to get a feel for the program as it has changed a great deal since we were participants in 2006 (when we first met!). This means we are living on campus with the other participants (30 adults, 21 children). We are immensely enjoying this time and are also seeing God work in our own hearts and in others as well. This has already been a time of great refreshment for us and we are thankful for this new calling that is so in line with our giftings and passion for missions!

The impact of COMPASS - November 2014

These are the countries that will be directly impacted from our most recent session of COMPASS.  It is so amazing to be in among the excitement and energy of so many people preparing to leave to serve!
