Change of Plans...

I got a phone call this morning from head office and plans for my next few months have changed slightly. Brace yourself folks... I am moving back to Abbotsford on Monday ....yes, Monday.

I believe this to totally be of God. We have been praying for God's timing and his plans, and He seems to have something different in mind for us. For the next two months the whole team will be a part of a discipleship school (run by MBMSI) for the purpose of getting to know each other as a team (living in the same quarters should help), to spend lots of time together in prayer, and to be challenged spiritually through speakers and those we are living in community with. This all came quite suddenly, but I'm really excited about it.

Now, as most of you know, I have some speaking engagements all lined up throughout Alberta and I will still be doing most of those. The only thing is, I will be in Abbotsford during the week, and will fly back on those weekends to speak. Please pray for strength as this is going to be a very intense month for me.

Here is a rough schedule for me for the next few months...
January 7th: Sunrise Church in Edmonton
January 8th: Fly to Abbotsford to begin training
January 13th: Fly back to Edmonton and drive back to Three Hills
January 14th: The Gathering Place Church in Airdrie
January 15th: Fly back to Abbotsford
January 20th: Fly back to Alberta
January 21st: Linden MB Church in the morning, and Sema church in Calgary in the evening
January 22nd: Fly back to Abbotsford where I will remain for the duration of training (ending March 5th)
March 11th: Saddleridge Community Church in Calgary

There will be a few more speaking engagements in there after March 11th, but they just aren't set up at the moment...and from there, our team (Lord willing) will be heading out to Thailand sometime mid April.

To those of you I had planned on getting together with, I apologize for my sudden departure but I will be back!!! I shall return to Three Hills for March and some of April.

Please be praying for our team as we spend these next few months together and for continued flexibility as the plans change everyday. God knows best and we trust in his leading and timing!

I hope you all had a great Christmas and New Years. Mine was fantastic! It was so wonderful to be with my family again and to connect with good friends. Love you mom and dad!!! (and Amanda and David)...
