Whew, we are already half way through May.  Time seems to be flying by. We are preparing to share what we will be doing with SIM over the next year. There is still so much to do at work, at home and preparing to leave.  Please pray that we will have the strength and wisdom to keep everything in balance as deadlines approach.

Time for Change

“When it comes to playing the game of life, we can choose to relax and play it safe in the comfort of an “EZ” chair, or we can go after our calling and accept whatever risks accompany the challenge.”

        From the Participant’s Guide to When the Game is Over it all Goes Back in the Box by John Ortberg

After raising four children and many years of teaching, God has a new challenge for us. I think we have always known that we would do something like this and we finally have no more excuses. We have been accepted for a one year term with SIM in Loja, Ecuador, beginning this September. There is a small MK school in Loja. We will be helping the students with their home school curriculum, freeing up the parents to do their work. We will have from 5 to 10 students, ranging from lower elementary to high school. We may be helping in other areas, such as teaching English. As well, part of our time will be devoted to learning Spanish. We’re hoping we’re not too old to learn a new language!
