Our Decision

OK, I got Dan to agree to some wording, and he couldn't keep from smiling when he did, which is a good sign. :) We have decide that unless something comes up to keep us from going, whether it is job problems, house problems or we just sense that God really doesn't want us to go, then we would like to move to Northern Idaho and are making efforts to do so. YEAH!! We are both really excited.
Did I mention that one of the elders at His Place Church in Post Falls, ID (where we will be interning for the next year) offered to put us up in his lower level for the year? What an incredible gift!! This was a huge help in our decision to go.
Options for Dan: There are 4 church plant opportunities out there. The district is waiting for the existing churches to die out, they aren't doing very well right now, and then will replant them within the next few years. His Place Church as been accepted as a satellite campus for Trinity. Dan would like to help teach a few classes (Greek and Hebrew) to help ready the student for classes in Chicago. The church would also like to start a young adults ministry and get their Thursday night service going. There are many things Dan could be involved with and these are just a few of them. We are really excited to be used however God wants to use us.
Doug, the pastor, asked for my resume as well and is in the process of circulating it around to a few key people in the congregation. I have a great peace that God is taking care of all our needs.
Please continue to be in prayer for us. My biggest prayer request is that we can get our house ready for market by next Friday. There is still so much to do.
