Commissioning Service

We had a wonderful day yesterday in our home church in Portadown Baptist. In the morning I was able to preach and speak about our work with Youth Challenge. The evening service was a special Commissioning Service when we as a family were 'sent out' into the mission-field. We are so thankful for a church that is 100% behind us and we certainly sensed that yesterday.
It was also a blessing to see so many who came along to our service to offer their support and to wish us God's blessing for the future.
Now we have to get our heads down and continue our packing. We will be moving out on Saturday and spending the rest of the weekend at my mum and dads. I will fly over to Germany on Sunday morning (to prepare the way) Claudia and the boys will join me on Monday DV.
We really feel that yesterday was an important day to bring real closure to our time of living in Northern Ireland. Now our time of transition moves into a new phase and a new chapter will soon begin.
Thank you again for upholding us in prayer and thank you also for your generous giving.
May the Lord bless you as you partner with us in mission!
