Many of you know that we have sensed that the Lord would move us from Dubuque, IA which has served as home base for the last several years. We have been diligently praying about and considering where the Lord would have us go to maximize the gifts and abilities he’s equipped us with for His work. We have been praying about a handful of really cool options.

Last month, we spent three weeks in Freedom, CA with the already established Freedom Team. We have known and prayed for this ministry for a while now. So, it was with great joy that we met a number of the precious people the team has been loving on and ministering to. We felt a rare freedom in making friendships, with the team as well as among the local community. In the span of a very short time, we were able to clearly distinguish the Lord’s invitation to join the work there. 

It is with great joy and confidence that we share that church planting in Freedom, California will be the primary focus for ministry in the US in the upcoming years. Lord willing, we will continue to participate in the DITP in Lubbock, Texas; make short trips to Peru; as well as prayerfully accept a number of speaking engagements in North America. Our status as missionaries in North America (and beyond!) continues and as always, support can be channeled through Christian Missions in Many Lands.

We are excited to learn from the existing members of the Freedom Team while putting into practice the lessons the Lord has so faithfully taught us over the years! Please pray for the Lord’s work to flourish! We want to be faithful in answering his call to go and make disciples. We are asking the Lord to form a new assembly of believers in Freedom!

Please stay tuned as Micah plans to share more about the Lord’s leading in our upcoming move. We’d also like to introduce the Freedom Team and the nature of the work there in California.
