We Have A Departure Date

Hello, Everyone! We have now received official confirmation of our teaching positions! We are both relieved and excited. God has really been building our faith recently. Basically, that means anytime we become anxious, God reminds us whose idea this is and who is in control of our lives.
We also have a departure date! We will be leaving on Sunday, February 10th. The school in Suwon will have their last week of the school year from the 11th to the 15th and will begin their next school year on the first Monday in March. We will arrive there on Monday the 11th and take some time to settle into an on-campus apartment and make preparations for the upcoming school year. If you have not already seen pictures of the facility, I suggest you visit www.suwoncca.org. It is going to be a wonderful experience and we cannot wait to see everything God wants to do with us and through us. Please, continue to pray for us as often as you would like.

Our Interviews

Sarah and I received a call from South Korea tonight. The headmaster/chaplain of Central Christian Academy called to interview us for the school positions. The interviews went extremely well. It sounds as if we will be able to have the jobs. He will be sending us letters of acceptance and possibly contracts to sign. There are still many things to be done for all the details to be worked out, but we are definitely going. We may even be able to meet with him in Dallas during his upcoming trip to the U.S. to discuss some of the details. We are beside ourselves with excitement. God keeps on revealing Himself to us through this entire process. Just when we think we have everything figured out, He shows us His version of the plan and it always far exceeds anything we could have dreamt. God is truly and utterly amazing.

A Great Wedding

Here's another image from an awesome wedding!

While we are still here...

We have sent our applications to Central Christian Academy in Korea. The toughest part may be the waiting. While we are still here, however, I have been taking some photographs. Let me know what you think and please continue to pray about our upcoming adventure. Congratulations, Phillip and Kerri!

Late Breaking News

We are still a few months away from our estimated date of departure and we have learned of an interesting new development. We may have the chance to teach at a Christian school as opposed to the public school that we had originally considered. Sarah and I feel that it would be an even greater opportunity than we had hoped. It seems as if it may be one of those instances in which God comes along with the real plan that exceeds all expectations. I love it when God does that! Please, pray for us and with us about the decisions that lie ahead. The Central Christian Academy positions would last two years. Our original plan was just one year. The school, however, is run by Kevin and Kate's church. Kate e-mailed Sarah about the jobs and we are all getting excited at the prospect.

Practice Run

Greetings and Salutations!

My wife, Sarah, and I are making preparations to move to Seoul, South Korea to teach English for one year. We will use this blog to communicate with our many loved ones remaining stateside. This is my first post. It is merely a practice run giving me a feel for the blogging.

Goodbye and Godspeed
