Mission Update

Well, if you are reading our blog page, you already know we are working towards leaving for Africa as missionaries! We are very excited, but still in the "hurry up and wait" stage. Aaron took the first leap of faith and gave his resignation at Bellevue where he has coached for two years. As of May 25, 2007 we will move out of the school owned house we live in and be jobless! Wow. Aaron's parents, John and Pat, are leaving for Tanzania, Africa on May 28th and we will be moving into their house. Aaron is pursuing several job options for the summer. We hope to raise our support and be ready to leave by October of this year. I am expecting our fourth child in August, so we will be taking four children on a plan across the world! We still don't know specifics about our destination. Currently we are looking at working with the Fulani (largest nomadic unreached people group in the world) in Gure, Nigeria. Everything is still up in the air as of now. God is amazing and has opened every door and gently led us each step of the way. We are very excited to see how He works out all the details. Our desire is to see "every tribe and tongue" worshipping Him! Our mission is not about us, or a specific people. Our goal is to bring greater glory to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords! We appreciate your prayers throughout our journey.
