Hello from Korea!!! It's been a month and I'm sure it's time for an update. So here we go!
Barry and the kids just got back from Yesan Retreat Center with the KidsWorship gang. The kids had a blast climbing around and exploring in the area. It's a beautiful place. I had to stay home and work, but I'll get my dose of Fall colors and mountain scenery this weekend at the Y.D.B. retreat at Horeb. I'll be helping out with worship and soaking in the sights of Fall. I can't wait!!!
October has flown by and our visit home is fast approaching. Our flight tickets are set for December 19th and we'll stay in Georgia for 5 or 6 weeks. Slowly, but surely the details for housing and vehicles are falling into place. Some dear friends of ours from Statham offered us their home and a vehicle for about 2 weeks around Christmas while they are out of town. THANK YOU!!! We'll also stay at Snow's Mill for a week and stay with our family some. We do not own a vehicle at the moment, so we'll enjoy our 2 weeks with wheels fo' sho'! I haven't driven a car since December 2010. Be afraid...
Our home in Statham has found new tenants as of November 1st. This will help us with our mortgage payment and keep the house occupied in our absence. Our agent, Burgundy is amazing. She's done a fantastic job dealing with everything via email. We thank God for her help! She is truly a blessing.
I'm working 5 days a week and Barry and I are serving in the ministry simultaneously, but like the majority of folks out there we still have to trust God for our finances. It'll cost 6k to get us all back to Korea after our visit home. I'm still hoping for the day I can snap my fingers and jump from continent to continent, but so far it hasn't worked... We feel confident that the Lord wants us to return to Korea to continue working for a season so we're expecting Him to provide. He already has in so many incredible ways! There are not enough hours in the day to tell of all He's done. Following Him is such a wonderful adventure. He created the universe and everything in it, I think He can manage a plane ticket or two (or four.)
In terms of ministry, well that's a multi-faceted topic for us, but over-all we're praying that the Lord will help us to faithfully teach what He's taught us and that He'll create a hunger here for His word and give "the spirit of wisdom and revelation" spoken of in the book of Ephesians, that we may all come to know Him better. We have plans for recording an album with the YES team this winter and Barry is leading the English service in the Word every week. We're also working with Pastor Kidoong and KidsWorship team to create resources to share the Gospel around the world. Wahoo!!! The Lord will return. While we wait we want to be found doing His work.
