Lost in Translation

We´ve been working on a number of different fronts to wrap up things here in Chía before we head back to the States on Feb. 9th. First, we need to leave the church with a national pastor and all of our ministries covered. God has answered prayers, and we have two candidates for pastor--Daniel and Pedro. I think that either one would be good, but we just worked up a plan today about how the church is going to be able to get to know them and finally choose their pastor. As far as our ministries, the goal is to step down in the middle of November from almost all of our responsabilities (Holly has the excuse of having a baby) and just guide and give feedback as necessary.

We´re also working on our plans for the following term. At this point we´re looking at working in Cali, a city of about 2.2 million people. We need to work through a myriad of details with the mission team here before this can happen, but God can work it all out.

The other project is our furlough. We need to prepare our new missionary presentation and set up meetings for 2009. In the midst of these different challenges, we know that God can work out all of the details for us.
