We informed the International Christian Center of the Christian and Missionary Alliance of NZ that we are officially going to accept their invitation to come and be their pastor. The news was recieved with vibrant applause and cheers. So now comes the very hard work of getting here. Please pray with us that all the many details that must come together for us to get here by January 2007 do indeed come together.
After church I was invited out to lunch at Kathleen's home with Mark & Rowena, Rachelle (Matt is taking picture) plus kids and Mary. We had a great feast of Thi steak stew and great fellowship. Very excellent.Tonight I will be meeting with the ICC Executive and anyone else who may come. We will be exploring options for how to handle the distance between us coming here in January and the distance from NZ to Canada over the next 4.5 months. Should be an interesting meeting.

I hope that your interesting meeting went well! We are both thrilled and sad to hear your news about going. It sounds like God is placing, and has placed, people in NZ that will become your new family (although we intend to keep that honour, too!!). Have a terrific trip home to CAN - we'll talk to you when you get here!
