After 8 months of survey work, many hours of discussion and heaps of prayer, our team has finally come to a decision!! We are going to be starting the new church plant in the northeast part of Christchurch. This is so exciting for us! We even have to location narrowed down to the exact area of the city.
We are committed at Shore Community Christian Church in an official capacity until December first of this year. Our team also has visitors coming in December (for us, the entire Huette family!!!). Those factors, combined with the way that life slows down and almost stops in the summer here (summer starts in December), mean that we will wait to leave Auckland until January.
We praise God for his provision, guidance, and the way that he unified six minds. Though this year has looked different than we had planned, we can not deny God's hand in our work. Originally, we did not plan to start survey work until January of '09, but due to less responsibilities than we anticipated on our internship, we were able to get a head start on that timeline!
Will you join us now in praying for the people of Christchurch?
