Encouragement

Today was a long day. Our team meetings and survey meetings have been filled with some bigger decisions and some very deep and important discussion about strategy, timing, and future steps. These are all good discussions but when they are over, we are usually quite (mentally) exhausted.

Tonight after a long day of discussion we had some friends over for dinner. They had also had a long day and we really enjoyed just relaxing together. Before they left they asked if they could pray for us and our team.

Their prayer was so encouraging! They prayed for exactly what we are in needof right now, peace about where God wants us to be, clarity about deciding on the right place, and unity for our team in making such big decisions. Their prayer was filled with the spirit as they prayed in such detail about our lives, our ministry, our relationships, and our calling.

When they left we felt such a sense of peace and were so energized by their zeal for God's work.

We know that many of you are also praying for us as we continue on to the next steps of our work in New Zealand. Please know that your prayers mean so much to us! Thank you for keeping up with us and with what God is doing in New Zealand.
