New Adventures Ahead!!

Well, we are officially living in Pensacola, Florida now! God is so good to have given us safe travels lugging our big 6'x12' U-Haul trailer from Ohio to Florida. It was really neat how God worked out the big move. We had originally signed up for the 6x12 trailer at U-Haul but after measuring our biggest items, I realized that we could do the trip with just a 5x8 trailer which was $250 cheaper than the 6x12. We switched over the paperwork and were set. When it was time to pick up the trailer, they did not have the 5x8 that we signed up for. The people who were supposed to drop it off broke down while traveling and were not able to get the trailer there in time. The U-Haul man told us that they were going to upgrade us to the 6x12 for no extra charge! That was a blessing. God knew just what we needed too because once we got it loaded, we filled the whole trailer up perfectly. I thought we would have a bunch of extra room. I am constantly amazed at how God cares about even the little things in our life (like the correct size of U-Haul trailers). Sara and I are settled in here at Pensacola Christian College and getting everything changed over and set up. Such as: Insurance, Residence, Banking, Licenses, Tags for our vehicle. We are so excited about the new adventures ahead of us and all that God will teach us as He uses us here in the ministry of PCC. I will soon begin my seminary classes with Pensacola Theological Seminary as I work on staff as a Residence Manager. Prayers are appreciated! Sara begins work on staff in the secretarial offices this coming Monday. We'll keep you posted, friends! -Christopher

Welcome to our Story...

We will be using this blog to keep you all updated on our journey toward full-time missions in Africa. During the summer of 2012, Sara and I were able to spend time working with missionary Bob Mach and his family in Cote d'Ivoire, West Africa. We believe that the Lord is leading us back there to serve Him on the mission field. Our goals on the field will be as follows: Soul-winning, Church planting, training nationals, ministry to orphans, and anything else the Lord allows. Honestly, we want to be used in any way for Christ and His Kingdom. We both graduated with our BA in Missions from Pensacola Christian College in May 2013. I will continue to further my education at Pensacola Theological Seminary working toward my Masters in Bible Exposition. This will allow me to teach and train nationals on the field. Sara and I will be working on staff at Pensacola Christian College while I pursue my masters. We pray that you will follow this blog as we share with you our story and continue to follow God day by day. To be continued... -Christopher
