Final Training

We are off for our final trip to Colorado before we head to New Zealand. We will be attending a three week training in Monument Colorado. The training is called SPLICE!

Spiritual - How to stay strong anchored to Christ during inevitable turmoil and stress

Personal - Understanding that my actions speak louder than my words

Lifestyle - How I will navigate with wisdom all of the lifestyle changes that will affect me, my witness, and my family

Interpersonal - If one of the hardest parts of missions is getting along with other missionaries, how will I manage?

Cultural - What are the personal attitudes and sensitivities I have that will determine what the people of New Zealand will say about me behind closed doors?

Endure/Enjoy - What do veteran cross-cultural workers mean when they say that living overseas is full of paradoxes and dissonance?

The boys will also be attending their own classes where they will learn how to discover the world around them and new cultures! This will be something new for them especially since none of them have been in all day 8-4 school! Also, Logan will have to keep up on his school work while we are gone!
We are very grateful for your continued prayers & support.
