Dear friends,
We are now fully entering our season of lasts. Christine is leading the SBS in to the last semester she will see at YWAM Turner Valley, and on Thursday I taught Proverbs in the SBS for the last time. We are truly grateful for our time here, and relish these last opportunities to serve the Kingdom in this way.
As much as we have been savoring our time here, we have also only grown more certain that moving to the UK these few years ahead of schedule is the wise thing to do.
In the past few weeks, Mum has had three developing health situations - a new cancerous growth, a bulging spinal disc that looked at one point like it might paralyze her lower body (it won't), and a potentially broken kneecap from a fall (it's not broken, in the end). Whilst the outcomes of these were not as bad as initially feared, it has certainly been very difficult experiencing them second hand via a time difference, and we simply cannot wait to be closer at hand.
The preparations for moving are going incredibly well, it has to be said. In terms of the financial support from people like you, we have been blessed beyond our wildest imagination. We even booked our flights to the US yesterday! For those of you that have supported our financial needs, we cannot thank you enough! As the diagrams below show, we are close or fully funded for most of our steps. You may notice quarantine COVID tests have been added to the list - additional costs do seem to keep popping up! Feel free to follow the donation links below if you would like to help out with our last few costs.
Ultimately, we just want to say thank you for your support and kindness towards us. This transition will not be easy, but we are convinced it is the right thing to do, and we are greatly looking forward to it!
Please keep us in your prayers, and let us know if there is anything we can be praying for. Prayers points are below.
