More good news! Jonathan (our oldest son) and Becky begin their support discovery as Arctic Barnabas Ministries Staff Appointees. Jonathan will be Director of Aviation Maintenance, a position desperately needed to keep our airplanes functional and safe. Without an airplane we cannot visit our bush ministry families. Besides filling a necessary role with ABM, we rejoice that this means a move to Kenai! Yeah! We left Anchorage to follow the Lord, but sad to move farther from our children and grandchildren. Yet, God knew the future and His plan to bring them here. So... we look forward to the pitter patter of little feet through our home once again. Abigail LeAnn turns 6 this December, Seth Conrad is 4 1/2, and Alison MarJean will be 2 in January. God's grace to grant us the privilege to serve Him together with our children overflows in praise this Thanksgiving season.

The newest news is that Joel and Amy are engaged to be married in June of 2007. We are so thankful for God's design in bringing them together and are trusting Him to lead them every step of the way.

Amy is the daughter of Perry and Sue Underwood who are the ambassadors at Change-point for the Arctic Barnabas team. They lead our prayer team and stay in touch with what is happening as our team does ministry. We are mightily blessed by their love for us and the ministry of our team.

Amy is presently living in Anchorage, attending Wayland University and working part time at Changepoint. Joel is in Portland, Oregon attending Multnomah Seminary. We are so thankful that both Joel and Amy are seeking the Lord with all their heart, mind, soul and strength. Pray for them as they seek God's direction for their future.
