Updates

Let me first apologize for not keeping this blog updated. We have had several issues with our computer over the past few months and we have been unable to post a lot of pictures or even do very much typing on here. So today will be very lengthy as much has happened over the past 3 or 4 months....

For all of those wondering - we have decided to come back for another year. We didn't know there for a while if that was the way that God wanted us to go but once we started moving in that direction doors started opening and we felt that we were supposed to stay. Our roles at the school will change a little and hopefully we'll be able to post more about that at a later date.

We were able to see much of the North over Easter. Eventually, all pictures will be loaded so that we can share them with you.

Jonathan and I have been asked to take over the Junior High ministry for next year. This is a really exciting opportunity for us since there is currently not one established yet. We will be able to have the boys and girls bible studies together at our home. We are praying that many doors will be open with these students.

I have been having some really neat things happening in my classroom. I won't go into detail here but as we are traveling this summer and visiting many of your churches I'll be able to share stories....

Jonathan has had a few opportunities to minister here at our church and he has also been able to go in Ramallah a couple of times to visit a home church there. Again.....we'll be able to go into more detail this summer.....

Jessi graduated from K5 this week and did such a great job considering the program was in English, Arabic, and Hebrew. And there was also a dabka (dance) that she did.....can't believe she will be in first grade next year. Zoe and I still have 2 weeks of school left while Jonathan finishes up this week.

We will be leaving here June 12th and arriving at Atlanta airport June 13th....very excited to be going home.....

Please pray for safe travels, financial support, sanity as the school year wraps up, and most importantly more opportunities to further the gospel...it's been a great year but we're already believing for a more incredible outpouring to start when we arrive back in August.
