Approval

It's offical.  On November 16th we received our approval to become Assemblies of God Missionaries to Ecuador!  We are excited and looking forward to returning to Ecuador.  We will now begin to raise the funds we need to live in Ecuador for 3 years.  We can't leave for Ecuador until we have raised all the funds necessary.  We will be visiting churches, family, and friends to share our vision for the people of Ecuador and raise the support needed.  We are expecting to do this within one year or less.  After our funds our raised we will head back to Costa Rica to finish 8 months of language training and then go back to Ecuador where Mickey will be working in construction of churches and jungle ministry and Jen will be ministering in the Women's prison and with medical teams.  We are excited and looking forward to all God has in store for us and for the people of Quito, Ecuador!

Trip to Missouri

Mickey and I spent last week in Springfield, MO.  We were at the Assemblies of God headquarters going through candidate orientation to become full time missionaries.  We underwent medical exams, background checks, and multiple interviews.  We met with the Executive Commitee who advised us they are going to give the World Missions Board a favorable recommendation to be Missionaries to Ecuador.  This board will meet on Nov. 16th and then they will let us know there final decision.  We are excited as wait these final weeks to obtain our approval.  We are looking forward to returning to Ecuador.  Even the kids are ready and excited to return.  Mickey will be involved in church construction and jungle ministry.  I will be working with Medical teams and also ministering to the women in El Inca's Women Prison in Quito.
