Our New Home


Sorry for the long delay in posts. However, communications don't get set up quite as quickly as they do in the States. Well, as most of you know, Meaghan and Hunter arrived safely about two and a half weeks ago. I closed on our rental agreement two days before they arrived, purchased a bed and that was the extent of spending the first few nights in our home. God has really blessed us with this house. It was the only one available and due to not being in a big city, the rent is very reasonable. For most new people it takes at least five weeks to find a home. God gave us this one in two days! If you wish to send something to us, send it to our Post address, which is CMR 414 Box 2273, APO AE 01973-2273. Sending packages to Post costs the same as in the U.S. We are setting up our U.S. phone line. We are so excited to finally be getting communications.

As for the ministry, things are going great. The Lord has granted me incredible favor with all of the factions of the post community. I have had the opportunity to meet with a good portion of the leaders among the youth and have begun to formulate a strategy for how we will be able to effectively minister to the entire youth population and communicate the Gospel message in a way that will introduce them to the Life Giver. At every turn, God has placed people in our paths to help us get settled, some have given furniture, and others have volunteered to help with the ministry. God is definitely doing a work here in Hohenfels. Thanks for joining us in transforming this region for Christ. Boldly proclaiming His name throughout the world.
