Greetings!
 Hello! Ready to hear some good news? Four men gave their lives to Jesus and two men rededicated their lives to Jesus through the prison ministry this month! Also, we have had several testimonies from those we are ministering to, of God's provision, healing and His grace at work in their lives like never before! |

 Many of you have asked exactly what we will be doing in Australia. Initially, we will be working with a Pastor from Living Light Ministries, Papua New Guinea, to pioneer a church in Cairns, Queensland. The church's main focus will be to evangelize the approx 7,000 PNG nationals living in the Cairns area as well as the many island nations and indigenous Australians. At the same time, we will continue to do outreaches to the South Pacific islands. |
| Family Transition |
 As for our family; if you can imagine going from working full-time to full-time ministry. Or moving from one country to another. Or going from public school to home-school. Any of these things would be challenging within themselves. Imagine doing all these things at the same time and you will have an idea of what our family is experiencing. However, God is faithful to us! He has surrounded us with His grace! Our children are well aware of what God is calling us to do. |

We asked our oldest daughter, Jessica, who is thirteen, if she would share what God has been showing her about Australia. This is what she wrote to share with you: Going to Australia is very exciting! Moving there for God is even better! I'm going to miss some things here but there's nothing better than doing what God has asked. I think being a kid and making this move is good. We are using our faith and believing for God to show Himself on the mission field. God has shown me many things about Australia. The first time was in a youth group service at our church. The presence of God was very thick. I could see in my mind, pictures, like a slide show. I saw the beach, kangaroos hopping across the outback, and an aboriginal baby. The baby was black skinned with very dark eyes, dark curls and was naked. I saw an arm around the baby like you would hold a baby on your hip.
I heard a voice in my spirit say "This is why you will be going." I knew that the pictures were places we would be and was reminding me what we would be doing. Like ministering on the islands, setting up churches and witnessing to people in those places. I know the aboriginal child was for me, to stir me up because I love working with children and teaching them about God. There have been other times this has happened since then and I know that God shows me something visual whenever I start to worry about moving or doubt being able to do what he wants me to. He always reminds me who He is and why we are going. I feel that serving God is a privilege . For me, when you find out what God wants you to do, you're not content on being where you are. I can't wait to move and start doing what God has for our family. ~Jessica |

 We are so thankful that our children see missions as a privilege not a price! For all of you who pray for us and give support in other ways, we are so grateful! We pray for you and trust that you prosper in every part of your lives! If you don't already support this ministry but would like to partner with us to bring salvation and healing to Australia and the South Pacific, we would love to have you partner with us!
God Bless!
