Well my friends, we are praising the Lord for His loving kindness and diligence in answering our prayers! We have fervently been praying for the Lord's will in our live since work has been bad and just getting worse.
Since we moved back into the area, about 1 1/2 years ago, work hasn't been as steady as we were hoping! And it just slowly began getting worse over time. The last months from November to February have been rough with January and February with pretty much no work at all. During this whole time, we have tried to stay positive as best we could, knowing that God was doing something great in our lives. As this new year began and there just wasn't work to be had, we questioned God why? What lesson was He trying to teach us? David had 3 jobs but neither of these jobs were producing any fruit! He had put in numerous application, sometimes twice, but nothing came from that either.
So we began questioning on whether God was asking us to move from this area. We put a fleece out to the Lord, that if it was meant for us to stay a full time job would present itself from either his 3 current jobs or jobs applied for. Nothing happened! Then the information about Heritage presented itself and we were sure this was going to be it! We were so sure, from the interview we had, that we had this job. We thought, "surely the Lord would prefer for us to work in a more controlled environment like Heritage Academy than for us to be on the road"!!! But the Lord showed us by giving us this possible option and then taking it away, that He really wants us to do the ministry that He originally called us to do, training and teaching others to be laymen to finish the Lord's work.
So now to our answered prayers! We are going to Reno, NV to join Empower Ministries!!! There, we will go through an intensive training school that teaches lay people to minister, pastor, and plant churches. We are planning on leaving the Collegedale area around April 6th - 8th. We hope to find work around Reno while there.
During our road trip, we plan to take about a week; visiting the different areas that we stay to camp. And then heading to Prescott, AZ to visit my grandparents before heading up to Nevada.
We are really excited to be able to be a part of this ministry. Something that we have been waiting on for a while now. And it looks like the Lord is opening that door wide open, for we got the official invite to join the ministry with Lee & Jolynn Gugliotto's in Reno, NV.
A description of what we will be doing with this ministry to be following soon!
