Blogging Does Have Its Benefits!

Well...you're some of the first to know. God has more things planned for 2008 than we anticipated! There is more than one way to form a launch team and find people for a new church!

We learned a few months ago that #3 is on his or her way. This little church-planter is due sometime in early April and will make for an exciting year- birthing a baby and a church in the same year, Lord willing.

We are thankful for this little blessing. Please praise God and pray with us. Some of you noted my reference in last month's prayer letter to some "health concerns" of Trish's. Please keep praying with us. We've been a bit anxious in these initial stages due to some thyroid abnormalities that doctors (Thankfully) discovered in Trish around the time of confirming pregnancy. By God's grace, she got on the right medicine just about the time we realized pregnancy, so hopefully God will allow the baby to develop normally. Trish has also had a severe cough that has made her very uncomfortable and added to the weariness of the early stages of pregnancy (not to mention the energy that two big brothers extract daily!). Now one of the medicines she is on seems to be the cause of some pain and skin irritation she is dealing with. Pray for healing and strength.

God has a plan for next year! It looks to be exciting! Please pray for wisdom, perseverance, and joy over what God is doing. Thanks for praying with us!
