Its finally official. On Sunday, March 9Th, 2008 God revealed through his word to us about the location we are to serve. It will be POLAND !!!!!
We are so excited and very relieved to not have made the decision of our own flesh. we also have realized that a Mid-Term assignment is not going to fit the bill when it comes to developing a firm conversational knowledge of the language and culture before engaging in effective ministry in the heart language. Based on this information and from great council from those who are in country, we have decided to pursue Long-Term appointment with WV. Initial reaction has been great and we are just waiting on some of the logistical information to fall into place so we can start fundraising and get officially "Appointed" in June.
Cheryl is doing well and getting large as the baby is running about 3/4 of a pound larger than normal at this stage....they tested Cheryl for gestational diabetes's - however the test was negative -- for which we are very thankful to God for. Cheryl however felt like a pin cushion as they gauged her 4 times for blood that day for the test -- OUCH !!!!
The girls are also all doing well in school and keeping up with their activities...Natalie really enjoys girl scouts and sold a total of 289 boxes @ $4 a piece -- so she raised just over $1,156 for her troop. Well done Natalie !!!!
we are heading up to Sunrise this weekend for the 1st time ever to try skiing (No not Cheryl) with the girls...Alexxis, Natalie & I will all don the snow sticks for some fun in the snow while Cheryl and Payton stay close to the lodge sledding and making snowmen. we are all excited and we are praying for good weather.
That's our update for now....Please continue to pray for the allocation of funds for our ministry and that we can start fundraising very soon as we continue down this path the lord has called us to. Blessings to you all.
Gabe, Cheryl & The Girls.
