It was so fun to see all of your guesses as to where we will be going.
And a few of you guessed correctly!
We are praying, planning and preparing to go to
Tauranga, New Zealand
in early 2012.
The plan is to spend the next year and a half
seeking the Lord,
paying off debt,
raising support,
praying, praying, praying,
growing in the Lord and His Word (the Bible),
learning,
being pruned and taught,
etc., etc., etc.
I am excited
and scared
and everything else in between.
I can't wait to see what God is going to use us to do for His Kingdom.
And I'm so humbled by the fact that He chooses to use sinful, broken nobody's like us to carry out His will.
More details on our journey as they come :)

That's so neat! New Zealand looks like such a beautiful country. How long will you go for? What a wonderful thing! I have felt the Lord leading me as well. Good for you! You are in my prayers!
It's also where many of the original members of the Newsboys are from. It's supposed to be beautiful, blessings during this time of preparation, I know that God has great things planned for you all!
oh wow, how exciting for you. I grew up in Tauranga, it is a beautiful place.
Hey, its Danielle, I just read this. Why Tauranga? What is going on over there? My husband has relatives in New Zealand, so if you need somewhere to stay when you first arrive there are people that you can stay with while getting over jet lag! Just remind me when it hits 2012, and we will let them know : ) New Zealand is a beautiful place I hear, Luke wants to take me there! Maybe we can meet up and I can finally meet your kids when you get over there...
I am a kiwi, living in Australia but moving back to NZ in 7 weeks. You will love it there!!!
We used to live in Hamilton, an hour from Tauranga. Tauranga is a beautiful place with a nice slow pace of life. All the best for your move.
Bring in a present service bill to demonstrate your habitation. In many cases a permit won't have the most current address. Since service bills are paid every month, you should give the latest one.
