Bittersweet Times

We are getting pretty excited about our new teammates getting here. Charlie, Jennifer and their boys, Josiah and Judah will be arriving in the next few weeks (we hope). They are going to be career m's here just like Brian and I, which means they are in for the long haul. We are so excited to have some more help and are thrilled that it is coming soon.

Our time with M and K, our journeymen, is quickly winding down.

M plans to leave August 6th to return to the states and pursue a masters and K is planning on staying here until October 16th. Please pray for these girls. They have been so wonderful to work with and have become a part of our family here. We are going to miss them greatly! Pray for them as they finish up their time. Pray that it will be fruitful and that they will work diligently. And pray that they will know where to go next. There are many questions from, "Where will I work?" to "Where should I go to seminary?" to "Should I continue to pursue a life of foreign missions?"

With the girls leaving we are hoping to have two more girls or guys come and fill their spot! That is a huge prayer request. Pray that someone will answer the call to work for two years in Macedonia teaching English and working at the coffee house, among other wonderful things. If you know anyone who might be interested in filling this spot. Please let them know we are looking and would love to talk with them.
