2012 – Kona to Australia
Well 2012 has come in with a bang. Years seem to go faster and faster especially watching the kids grow up. This year our first-born will make it to double digits (the big 10) and Elijah will start grade 1 in School and Michael will turn 8. We have already had our birthdays so thankfully we won’t age at all this year anymore.
Well as the heading says we will be heading down to Australia as a family again this year. We were last all together in Australia in 2010 for a few weeks, and this year we will be in Oz for a little longer.
WHY AUSTRALIA?
Part of the reason is to renew our Visa’s for the USA. This requires us to have our interviews in Sydney like we did before coming here in 2007. The other parts to spend time with Family, take some time to study and also connect with many friends throughout the East Coast. Faith and I have been in Full time ministry for 24 and 16 years respectively and we felt that this would be a good time to have a break and spend some time as a family developing together before setting sail onto the next season.
WHEN?
We will be departing Kona around Mid June, please be praying for the tickets needs and the finances needed in order for us to take this trip.
DO WE HAVE ANY NEEDS?
Moving family for a long time comes with a whole set of challenges. Please be praying for the following:
- Housing – the outside and the inside
- Transport – Wagon would be nice, be able to drive up and down the coast
- Visa Process
- Andrew’s Study and Development
- Kids changing location, moving away from friends and schooling
We are looking forward to this time with much anticipation. We hope that this time will be a fruitful time for us as a family as well as knowing that God has all things in His hand as we other take on our responsibilities here in Kona. Stay tune for more details coming your way and please be praying for us as we prepare for this season.
