NTBI Waukesha Mobilization Team get ready cause were comin' for ya!!! 

We've known since we finished training this past May that we would be doing mobilization with NTM once we raised support. We just didn't know where and we had a couple of different locations to choose from. So after some extensive debating, praying, and waiting, we finally decided on becoming a part of the team up at New Tribes Bible Institute in Waukesha, Wisconsin. And we are so stoked! And we feel so privileged!
Our main job will be to travel to colleges, universities, conferences (and really any venue that has Christian young people in attendance) and present to them the needs around the world and how they can be directly involved. But I am so excited about being at NTBI specifically because while we're not traveling we get to be apart of life on this awesome campus. And what a better field to mobilize in then NTM's first phase of training, where we can challenge the students to continue onto the Missionary Training Center in Missouri. Our prayer is to finish support raising by July '15 so that we can move in in time for the start of the next school year. 

Speaking of support raising, that's really what our day to day life is all about right now. We wake up, go to a coffee shop since we lack an office of our own, make phone calls, write updates, send emails, and meet with people. It's a weird time of life, but most days we are loving it. This past weekend we got to be a part of our sending church's missions conference and it was an awesome time of sharing, fellowship, and relationship building. We are so blessed by those who have become a part of our team and are so thankful for their support. 

Finally, last week we got back from the pacific northwest, which was beyond beautiful. We went out there for a doctor's appointment with my Lyme's specialist but got to stay in Seattle and drive through the Cascade Mountains a couple times. Needless to say it blew our flatlander minds. The doctor did some more treatments and says that I should be seeing some improvement after a month or so of detox. We're hoping that I'll only have to go back out there maybe one more time. Brett's optimistic and I'm trying to be as well.


much love,
