Excerpt from my email updates:
I'm moving to India!
In January God called me to India, and during our trip to India, I felt God confirmed the call. Last week, I felt God say to me "Now go!"
In the story of Moses and the burning bush, some words lit up like crazy. "Who gave man his mouth? Who makes him deaf or mute? Who gives him sight or makes him blind? Is it not I, the Lord? Now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say." (Ex. 4:11-12) It was as if God were speaking directly to me. I feel like God wants me not to delay anymore but to start working toward moving to India. I am not to worry about whether I am the "ideal" one for the job, because my Creator is the one calling me. Other verses lit up as well, like Jesus sending out the disciples, and "Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it." (Mt. 10:39) How exciting!! And scary at the same time!!! On a more comforting note, Matthew 10:26-31 and Exodus 33:14 lit up as well - God is going with me and will supply what I need, and I do not need to be afraid.
So I get to move to India!!! Yipeeeeeee!!! (and scary!!)
Basic Info
My current job is to run the design department and the book/publishing department, and I manage all the languages. I'll be doing the same from India.
Dwight, Kristi, Mom and Dad are completely on board and are excited for me. We are also very grateful for Skype, so I'll be able to call my Momma, and I can keep giving Dwight raspberries! ;)

Basic Info
I'll be doing the same job, same ministry, with the same people, in a different location.- I can experiment with ways to distribute our material in India.
- I'll be able to work closer with our staff in India, and I'll be available to manage more people if we see the need for expansion.
- I'll need more funds - in Mexico I'm living with people; in India I'll pay my own rent, etc.
- Let's aim for May 2016, trusting God "who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us," (Eph. 3:20) and in obedience to Him who says not to delay.
