What next God?

We have returned to our "home" in Michigan. I put it in quotes because we do not plan to be here long. We will probably be here at least until summer, to finish up the school year. After that we plan on leaving for a language school, probably in Guatemala, and then on to Creel, Mexico to join the staff at the YWAM base there.

After our DTS and outreach were done we left California and traveled to the base in Creel to see first hand what they were doing and to talk to the staff face to face. We really enjoyed our time there, and meeting the people. There are many opportunities for ministry there and we can't wait to see what God has planned for us. The current staff there are involved in a number of things in the area. Some of them are focussed on the indigenous Tarahumaran Indians that live in the area, while others are working in the town of Creel to evangelize the city itself, and to unify the pastors that work there. They also have a desire to start a kids program to work with the youth of the city, and they have some other projects that they would like to get started doing as well. We would be able to fit in a number of different areas there. Robin would spend most of her time in the role of teacher to homeschool the boys while Dan would be doing the bulk of the ministry at first. It was strongly suggested that we attend a total immersion language school so that we can be effective in ministry right off the bat instead of struggling to learn the language while involved with the day to day work.

Robin is back working at St. Marys part time second (and a sometimes third) shift. Dan is working part time at Duwayne's Greenhouse driving delivery truck, mostly to the Chicago area.

Robin has been feeling that we aren't finished at Chico, and that maybe God is calling us to go there for a year before going on to language school and Creel. We are seeking God's direction in this and will follow where ever He leads us.

Our house will be up for sale very soon. We are finishing a few projects, getting it cleaned up for showing and getting rid of a lot of extra stuff.

We ask for prayers that the house will sell quickly and to the right person, and that God will direct our next steps according to His will.
