CONFERENCES, PACKING, AND...

Saying goodbye to many possessions, we have also been busy with sorting what is to be kept. Greg has had the privilege of attending the TMAI symposium, followed by the Shepherd's Conference. Such a blessing it has been to be around the men we used to work with from around the world. Now to be partnering with GMI and to go as missionaries is an immeasurable joy.

While Greg has been busy with the conferences, Traci has been diligently packing and caring for the home. The house is due to close escrow next Friday (3/12). We are due to move out by the 20th. Along the way we are seeing the Lord also provide takers for many of our things.

One special opportunity happened yesterday. We listed a couple things on Craigslist and for one of them were contacted by a couple from Idaho. They were going to be in So Cal for another purpose and asked to come by and have a look. Through correspondence it was discovered that are brethren in Christ and were excited to hear of what the Lord is doing with us. Well, they came and not only bought the advertised item, but also a couple other things. Not only that, they also wanted to partner with our ministry!

Tomorrow we say goodbye to ministry partners from New Zealand after they preach and share in the ministry at Christ Community. We have completed our visa paperwork and will Lord willing send it with them back to New Zealand to begin the visa approval process.

Praising the Lord for His goodness and guidance...
