Getting ready for Home Assignment

The last month was an unusual one with Shelli and the kids in Canada from the middle of July and myself (Greg) ministering in Hermosillo and getting ready for home assignment (a ministry time in Canada visiting our support team and churches).  Shelli laptop cratered the first week in Canada and mine two weeks ago so trying to keep updated was hampered a little.

There are mixed feelings as we plan to spend September to December in Canada.  Our hearts are torn between the joys of visiting family and friends and sharing what God is doing while in Canada and between the incredible joy and blessing of having many ministry opportunities (Discipleship of new adult and youth believers, therapy with child burn victims, Shelli’s national children’s ministry conference in October, hosting the Mexican E. Free National Conference in November, etc.) here in Hermosillo.  In the last two years (since our last visit to Canada) it is easy to see and feel the deepening relationships that have come through years of building trust, working hard in prayer, growing personally in Christ through His word and testing, persevering in the language and culture and just spending time (fellowship/communion) with the Body of Christ and also with the ones we hope God will call to salvation soon.

Please pray for us as we try to tie up loose ends in the next two days and then travel the 3200 kms to Didsbury, AB.   Please pray that the 36+ hours on the highway will be hours filled with seeking God and strengthening our marriage. 

In Christ,

Greg
