Here We Go Again!

Here we go again!  We have been in California for the last six months helping establish the children's ministry at Living Hope Christian Fellowship in San Clemente. Our daughter, Elizabeth and her husband, Shannon Kapp,   merged their church plant from Oceanside with LHCF and are the Senior Pastors there.  All of our daughters and their families live close by and attend the church.  We have enjoyed living close to them.  

We spent September through December 6th of 2009 in Singapore with City Missions Church.  We were brought in as consultants in children and family ministry.  It was a great three months of ministry and building relationships.  When we left to go to California the leadership left the door open for us to return.  Our ministry there was successful and we had developed wonderful friendships in the church.

We are going to go through those open doors and return to Singapore and City Missions Church.  The decision was birthed through much prayer and we believe this is where the Lord wants us to minister for the next year and possibly longer.  We have made a one year committment to the church to come on staff as an associate pastor.  We will help in Family Life Ministry in the church and also be involved in their mission programs.

We will continue to receive donations for REACH for opportunities to help orphans and train children's workers.  We will receive a salary from the church so the donations will not need to go towards our support.  REACH has a very minimal administration cost so most of your donations will go straight to ministry needs.  

We appreciate all donations and prayer.  We are excited at the opportunity but we need prayer as it is very difficult to leave family once again.  We are thankful for the season living near our grandchildren.  They are excited to visit PapPap and MaMa in Singapore.

The pictures below are from our time with our family in Southern California.

Thanks for all of your support and prayers.May God bless you all.
