Constant Change!!

That’s not really an oxymoron! The only thing constant and sure in life (besides Jesus!!) is change! We are certainly in the midst of that right now.
A couple of weeks ago we received our April financial report from the mission and the news was on the sobering side. Our support for the month was almost half what we need for our budget. We’ve seen a real drop in giving since last September, yet this past month puts us in a crisis. What to do?
After much prayer and discussion, Margaret and I have decided that the best thing for us at this point is to sell our home here in France and help alleviate some of the financial responsibilities we have here. Housing costs are a big chunk of our budget. That will also free us up to move to the next phase of ministry, wherever that happens to be in the future. We’ve had a sense for several weeks now that we are in transition. We believe that will be for some other location in France. We are open and seeking the Lord about what to do after this year in the US.
So… pray with us for a quick sale of the house (Standard time for a house sale here is 3-4 months, once you have a buyer!), for the move that will follow (We’ve already found a great place to store our things while in the US.), and for a hundred small details that need to fall into place in these coming months. Continue to pray also for housing in the Atlanta area starting this fall.
We have our last family conference on Saturday at a church in Paris. Pray for the couples who will attend this conference on Communicating Better in Marriage. After that only three weeks until we go stateside! Lots to do before leaving.
