june prayer letter

Dear Friends,

When I last wrote, I was wrapping up my time in Hoskins and heading to America to get married.  Well, today marks 10 months since God brought Dar Gail and me together. Very shortly we will be celebrating 4 months of married life. As we look back, it amazes us to think that a year ago we had no idea what He had in store. God has continued to knit our hearts together and direct our path and we are excited to share some of the things He is doing.

Our Life

While Dar Gail has continued to work at Wycliffe Associates (WA), I have been spending time coordinating our plans and working on paperwork, volunteering at WA, helping family and friends, and even fitting in a little bit of tree work.

We have enjoyed the opportunity to spend some quality time with both of our families and even hosted some friends from N. Ireland.

God has blessed us with a wonderful church family here and has even opened doors for sharing our ministry in another church’s Sunday school class.

We plan to head to N. Ireland the beginning of August and then on to England in September.  We will be living at the NTM Training Center in North Cotes where Dar Gail will attend the Cross Cultural Communication training while I serve on staff.  Following our year there, we hope to be able to return to Papua New Guinea.  However, we recognize that God is in control and want to yield ourselves to His plan.

Family Update

¨ 3 new little ones: Jonah, Kaylan, & Sophie ~ Welcome to the family!

¨ Dar Gail’s Grampa Bickish went to heaven ~ Praise the Lord for the godly legacy he leaves behind.

¨ Lots of birthdays ~ including...

Geoff’s Big 40!

Please Pray ~ For the logistics of our move (visas, flights, packing, wrapping things up with work, home, & cars); for the many goodbyes to be said; for safety in our travels; for God to be glorified in all we do!

I am certain that a year from now, we will once again look back and be amazed at His plan for our lives.

The Lord is good, A stronghold in the day of trouble, And He knows those who take refuge in Him.” - Nahum 1:7
