Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him! Psalm 34:8

Since you're here, you probably are already aware of our family's plans to join the work the Lord is doing on the Yakama Indian Reservation in Washington through Sacred Road Ministries. Over the past several years the Lord has put this desire in our hearts and affirmed the call to join the Granberrys and the rest of the team as full-time staff. As we began to consider the possibility that God was calling us to Yakama we had some fears and concerns about taking our family to live on the rez. Through much prayer and listening to God's word we realized we must trust that he can and will take care of our family better there than we can here. Since stepping out in faith and laying these concerns at his feet he has continually and abundantly shown us how he is preparing the way.

As part of God's family we know that he has called us into community with the body of Christ and those of us that have experienced the blessings of this can understand how this time for us is bitter sweet. We have been very fortunate to already know and be close to some of our new community God has called us to and given us a longing to be with, an opportunity most missionaries do not get. We are also very blessed with a great community here and are becoming more and more aware of this as we see God's loving care for us through our family here. We are getting to know more and know better so many wonderful brothers and sisters here it is difficult to think of leaving. God is good though and we are excited to see what he has planned for us next. Please pray for us to "not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let" our "requests be made known to God."
