Initiations

Hello all!

I started this blog to be able to inform you all about what's going on with Amy and I concerning our Australia plans. This first post begins a series of "Initiations," hence the title. It is a brand new blog, with the very first post about some very exciting beginning things.

First of all, I would like to tell you that Amy and I have made application to Baptist International Missions Inc., BIMI. They are a God-honoring mission board that we align with in Doctrinal Beliefs and are happy to be hopefully working with them in the future. Steven and Christy Maldoff are missionaries with BIMI and since it is our goal to assist them in their ministry, it works out great that we will both be using the same mission board. We have completed all the paperwork and mailed it in a month or so ago. The last thing we needed to do was get our Medical Exams taken care of and that was completely finalized today, so we just need to mail it off and wait to hear back on whether or not we are invited to Candidate School. If we are invited, we will have an interview the day before it begins, and they will determine if they want to take us their missionaries.

Secondly, I'd like to update you about our Summer Missions Trip plans. Our plane tickets are all purchased and the dates are set in stone. We will be leaving Thursday, June 28th and returning Monday, July 23rd. We greatly look forward to making the trip and it is less than 3 months away! Please continue to pray that we would get the rest of the support that we need for our trip. Money will go towards supplies, food, housing, gas, and ministry needs for missionaries Steven and Christy Maldoff and their three daughters.

Hopefully, I will be able to figure out this blog a bit more and make it more attractive and get rid of some of the generic picture type things, but until then, I hope you will enjoy the posts and the updates.
