A Brief Update:

First and foremost, I want to confirm that, Lord willing, I will be departing for my ministry assignment in Sydney on July 6!

A few details:

I am in Birmingham, AL this week for the Presbyterian Church in America General Assembly. Jim Jung, my Sydney team leader, is here with me. It's been a great time of renewing our friendship (haven't seen each other face to face in three years), and discussing life and ministry in Sydney. We are attending GA for the purpose of recruiting missionaries, interns, and church missions teams for the Australasia region (Australia, New Zealand, and a number of South Pacific island nations). Please pray that God will call many to serve and equip in this region.
Upon returning to Jackson on Friday of this week, my primary work will be packing up my house, packing up my bags, and just in general preparing to turn my house over to my renters/house managers.
A young Christian married couple will be renting my home, living on the main floor, and managing the AirBNB basement apartment. They are excited for the opportunity as they will be able to save up money for their own home over the next four years. And they seem very suited to managing the AirBNB apartment as well.
I anticipate driving up to Iowa on June 30-July1 to spend a few days with my mom before departing for Australia.
I will fly out of Sioux Falls, SD on July 6 and arrive in Sydney on July 8!

Prayer Points

Praise God for his sustaining grace during a departure delay of more than two years. Praise him for the opportunities he gave me to serve my local church, to learn and minister through the Birmingham and Jackson Mission Cohorts, and for the opportunity to buy my first home and renovate the basement apartment.

Praise God that the long wait if nearly over!

Pray for our recruiting efforts at PCA General Assembly.

Pray that God will enable me to accomplish all that needs doing in Jackson before I can turn my house over to my renters/managers.

Pray for good time with my mom before I depart.

Pray for my adjustment and settling into life and ministry in Sydney.

THANK YOU for your faithful prayers, encouragement, and continued financial partnership over the last years. I appreciate your role in our work more than you can know, and covet your continued "holding of the rope" as I begin this new role in Australia.
