So we're on our way to Kandern, Germany to work for a ministry called Crescendo Arts (it's part of Crescendo, which is part of Agape, which is part of Campus Crusade for Christ International ....). We've been on our way to Kandern specifically since about late December when we first made contact with folks there. We've been on our way to working overseas for a couple of years, knowing that God was tugging at us that way, but not knowing what it would look like.
We're getting closer to actually going everyday. At this point we're in the process of looking for ministry partners, and when we find them, we can go - which might take another 9 months. We'll see what God has in mind. What that means for our everyday lives is that each day is spent on the phone, meeting with people, making trips to the mailbox and post office, sitting at the computer working on things. It's a pretty different lifestyle than we lived when we were teaching. We both really miss students.... but we are so grateful for this time and the ways that it's different. We have conversations with fantastic people and soak in the encouragement that comes from it. Clearly it's great preparation for us.
This said, if we're really honest, we can't wait till we actually get to go!
