Dear Family,

It is sooooo good to be able to come to this blog and be real. Thanks, Tres, for your update and your openness. We will definitely be praying for much wisdom as you continue being the great parents you are. We love you guys and miss you so much...maybe it's just time for all of us to move HOME!!!

Anyway, on that note, we officially received the notice from JTM board today that they will not be supporting QUEST in Brazil and that we are to talk to them about "redemployment", which I'm assuming means we are being "let go" from Janz Team Ministries. There is a part of our hearts that are feeling rejected, hurt, frustrated, betrayed and many other feelings, BUT there is also a sense of freedom to get away from a mission that is definitely unhealthy in it's set up and that has been wearing on us for a LONG time.

So, the question is...what next? Who truly does believe in us? God or man? Is the vision God has put on so many hearts in Brazil not going to come to be because JTM didn't want to support it? Lots of confusion, but at the same time God's PEACE is starting to take over our anxious hearts. PLEASE PRAY FOR US, OUR KIDS, OUR FUTURE. A part of me wants to give up fighting, but another part of me believes in the vision. Where God closes a door, he opens a window???

Brenda, I would love to come to your party. Thanks for the invitation.

Thanks for praying...we'll keep you posted.
