The plan is rough and cannot happen without God's direct involvement, but believing we are called to be a part of this, we are now back in Kona to help get the ball rolling. For us, it begins with DTS classes to learn more about hearing, obeying and persevering in the Lord's will.

And that piece of cardboard?  It's still here in the director's office waiting for things to line up according to God's timing and purpose.

As for you guys reading this... what are you hearing about this plan to roll out a whack of fresh Christian journalists into the world?  Do you affirm it? Have you insight, constructive criticism or support you feel led to offer? Want to get involved? Let us know.

This is no small undertaking.  It will take God himself, working  through many individuals and teams to bring it about.  So go ahead: Ask, listen and obey.

• TRAINING GROUND: before going full-time with the Media Team, we must complete our Discipleship Training School (DTS) and Outreach.  Pray for patience, grace and wisdom as we live/study with 40 other students (aged 18-27) in tight quarters.
• OUTREACH: we've learned that the second half of our training begins mid-December with a 10-week ministry team trip to Papua New Guinea to work with one or more of the language groups there.
• FAMILY: Our kids are on the move.  Newly weds Chris/Tiff just bought our Toyota RAV, Leslie is in TO on an animation gig, Murph/Levi are adjusting to her new job as a Creative Director, Lindsay's contract with World Vision is extended and Lani is cramming for UBC midterms.
• MINISTRY SUPPORT: our personal monthly support has reached 45% and is growing. Wahoo! Thank you Lord!
