We're going to Germany!

After a lot of prayer and thought we've decided to go ahead and move to Germany even though we are only at 40% funding for the year. We will be leaving on August 21.

We will self fund for the deficit, however we will be back in the States next summer support raising in the hope that God will provide enough funding for 100% the following year.

It’s just another step of faith as we truly believe that BFA is where God would use us.

We will continue to try and raise support while in Germany as well, so please continue to keep us in your prayers.

Pray for our upcoming transition and our support needs that we still have.

Back in St. Louis

We're back in St. Louis for a while visiting Sheila's sister Barbara (Jeanie).

Finishing up support raising in the hope of being in Germany before the end of August. We are so close I can almost smell the brautwurst.

Adapting to a new culture

No, we are not in Germany yet, Sheila and the kids are in Mid-West-America! The girls are getting some practice in what it’s like to adapt to a new culture. Some of the things they have learned are:

• Some fences have pokey wires on them
• Horses will eat carrots out of your hand
• Alpaca’s are very soft
• The produce isle is in your back yard
• Some bugs light up
• Some roads are made out of small rocks
• Mosquito repellant is worth every penny
• English can sound very different in different places in the US
• Some people have no clocks in their house except for the one on the microwave that is blinking the wrong time

Heather, Jennifer & Hannah

St. Louis, MO

They are adapting to the stress of packing up their lives and driving across the US. I think they are so distracted by all the new adventures; they hardly miss a thing, except Daddy. Brian is in CA working on the partnership building phase of our ministry with plans of driving to WA on Wednesday July 8. August 2nd is just around the corner. We trust that the LORD will provide and His timing is perfect.

Our love and prayers to you all.

Sheila on Moving

The big move:

I wish I had pictures of the move, I had to get these off the Moore’s website. The whole day is a little hazy, but I seem to remember taking some pictures. Brian and I had presentations planned up to the day before the move. It was a little crazy but we made it; thanks to Jim Delongchamp, who helped us pack and my sister Chris who kept the triplets in Sacramento for 4 days. They had a blast by the way.

I just have to put in a good word for Moore’s Executive Movers. As most of you know, my Dad served in the Air Force for 20 years and I served in the Navy for 10 years. So I like to claim I did 30 years in the military. Ha ha …too bad I don’t get that retirement check. Along with that came many moves, some by myself and some with larger professional companies. If I could choose from here on out, I would use Moore’s movers every time. It was the least stressful move I have ever made, even though it was the first time I had to stay up all night packing. We have way too much stuff.

These guys were amazing. They stayed in contact, they delivered boxes and tape, and packing material at low cost and even some at no cost because they are supportive of our ministry. Their estimate was very close despite the fact that we kept changing our minds about what we were going ship or leave behind. The packing crew worked together like family (well… like a family that gets along all the time). I have had some terrible experiences with some movers and these guys were a gift from God. I can not say enough about them. Not even 1 cuss word, not a single power struggle among them, they wrapped and protected my furniture on every side, top and bottom. Most movers just throw a blanket over the mirror. These guys carefully taped blankets front and back. Not a single complaint about our heavy marble top furniture or fight about who’s turn it was to carry the big stuff. They were very good at communicating. I felt I could express any concern at any time and they were very attentive to our needs.

Delivery went just as smoothly. I love these guys.
