Our Latest Adventure

Hey Friends! It looks like God is moving us on again, back across the pond, to Basingstoke, Hampshire, England. Wow, that is a mouthful!
Anyway, it was only a year ago that we received a call suggesting we help lead a church in the West Basingstoke area. Shortly after that call, a prophetic word to me came that made us think maybe there was something of God in this.
"God is opening a new door for you and your husband. He will move you from farmlands to fields. There will be no walls to your new opportunity."
Hmmmm.....a call about a new thing, a prophetic word that seems to describe the farms of Indiana and the fields of Basingstoke, well, let's see about these walls...
It's been unbelievable to see the walls that were there almost disappear before our eyes and how God seems to be orchestrating this venture down to the smallest detail.
We have our visas, they came in record time, we can leave our apartment with all of our furniture with someone to care for it, may even get to live in it when we come home to visit, we fell in love with the people in West on our trip in April. God is in this and we can't wait to see what life looks like across the pond. We are also grieving leaving our amazing friends in Indiana but know that God is faithful and our relationships are secure! RJR
