8 days till departure...

Busy, busy, busy! Sorting, packing, donating, and praying.  In just 8 days we will be on the road returning to Dine Bikeyah.  After a year and a half on furlough, it is time to return to our beloved Navajo!  It is sad to say good-bye to friends and family here in Kentucky, but there is much work waiting for us among the Navajo.   We have a 2 bedroom duplex waiting for us, and only a bookshelf and dishes to furnish it with thus far.  But as always, where God guides, He provides...

We have a two day journey starting out on the 28th, when we will be spending the night in Oklahoma, then we shall push on to Farmington, NM on the 29th.    We sign on the duplex the 30th and spend our first night in it that day!  We officially move in on February 2nd.


God is so good, and He is the Lamp unto our feet and the Light to our path... no matter how little beyond the next step we see He always goes there ahead of us.

Ahe'hee'! (Thanks!): to all who have helped and are continuing to make our work among the Navajo happen!

We head out to friend raise!

We are returning to the Navajo winter 2013-2014 as missionaries partnered with the San Juan Baptist Association, when our support is raised... We start visiting at our own church Immanuel Baptist of Corbin, later this month into early June.  After that, Michelle will be travelling to Kansas for a week to visit family and connect with our churches there.  Then we will expand on through Kentucky and Tennessee.  From there maybe Florida, Texas, Oklahoma, and states in between.


The missionary life is not for everyone.  That first step of faith (no matter how many times one has done it) can be absolutely terrifying.  Depending in God daily for our every need is not easy, but it is a blessing.  We have never been without what we need, and we learn more of what are wants and what are real needs.  While not everyone can live this life, we would not trade it for any other life.
