Time For A Little Q & A

What are your current plans?
We are now targeting May as our departure date to Mexico but we have learned that exact dates and plans are in the Lord's hands. We simply move forward waiting upon Him to guide us.

What will we do until your departure?
We have documentation and business to care for (power of attorney, certificates to be apostilled, change in licenses, insurance), a house to sell and pack up, a van to purchase, ordination to prepare for and complete, churches to contact and share in, medical and dental check-ups, etc. In addition to these things we have a lot of correspondence, traveling, and just plain daily living.

What is the length of an average deputation?
It takes an average of two years to get to the field. We finished Candidate Orientation in July of 2004 but it wasn’t until March of this year that we actively began support development. We are all excited at how quickly support has come since some have waited five years to get to the field.

How’s the work going in Mexico?
In the words of a teammate, “Leaders are being trained. A 2nd House Church is scheduled. And evangelism training results in 19 youth committing to missions and 14 new believers.” It makes us want to be in the thick of it.

What’s the weather like in Puebla?
The forecast for tomorrow - sunshine along with some passing clouds, high 63F. This is not to be confused by the West Virginia forecast of sunny and a high of 33F. I think we can adjust!
