we're moving to Boston!

Some of you already know, but in case you haven't heard, we're moving again!

We'll be moving sometime in May to work on staff with Youth With A Mission (YWAM) in Boston. They have a great base there that focuses on Creative Arts in Worship as a vehicle for discipleship training and evangelism. They reach out locally in Boston and also are focused on taking teams to the nations.

We're really excited to become part of their community, and are amazed at the opportunity before us. Boston is a wonderful and historical city, but is also very much in need of a fresh presentation of the Gospel. It is one of the least churched areas of the country - some say as low as 5%. It is also an entry point for many first generation immigrants, as well as being home to 250,000 college and university (Harvard, MIT, Boston Univ, etc) students each year - 42,000 of these being international. So it is a great place to reach out and influence the world, but also to train missionaries and then take them out to the world.

Most importantly, we can feel the gentle but confident hand of our heavenly Father guiding us each step of the way. We want to do this because the call of God is good - and this is where He is calling us. He is faithful and totally good, and we can look backward and see that He has been preparing us for this for a long time.
