Well, here it is, my usual apology for not blogging in an
obscene amount of time. I am sorry.

Our situation now is much better for being able to update
our blog and keep you all in the loop as to what is going on.

I realized that we have not posted since our winter update
was sent out in December, so I will try to summarize where we are, and what we
will be doing with AIM from this point further. Here is a exerpt from the
Winter newsletter we sent out. It explains a bit of what we are in the midst of
now.

"Many people have
asked us if the lives we live are healthy for a young couple and a newborn
baby. And my answer is always the same. No. In fact AIM is pretty neurotic
about protecting its staff from going through major life change while in the
middle of a First Year Missionary Program.

As soon as we found
out that we were pregnant, we told our directors so they could help us make
good decisions about our future in this particular program. They were very
excited to hear about the Baby and told us they had been praying about us and
our role for a while.

AIM has asked us if
we would be willing to move to their headquarters in Georgia and become the new
directors of the College-age Missions Department. This would involve developing
new programs and looking at ways to better disciple this generations of young
men and women.

We have accepted this
position and will be moving to Gainesville, Georgia in February.  Here is a bullet point summery of what
we will be doing in that position.

o   Examine the current programs to measure
their effectiveness in discipleship and training.

o   Develop new programs for College students
that want to follow Christ into a life of missions.

o   Travel to different parts of the world and
develop relationships with local missionaries and pastors to make sure that we
are helping them with the cause of Christ.

o   Recruit and develop leaders to train and
disciple in the context of these programs."

 

Well, we have settled down in Georgia and I have been
working in the office for about three weeks now. It is a rough transition, but
I am really enjoying it. The people that I work with are amazing, and it
doesn't really feel like work.

Holly is doing well. She has been to the doctor twice in
Georgia and have had good reports about the Baby. He is growing well and not
causing too many problems.

If you would like to catch up please call anytime. Holly's
number is 423-314-2021 and my number is 678-371-1724. We would love to hear
from all of you.
