And.....away......we.....go!

It has been said by a wiser man than I that "smooth seas do not make a good sailor." It is in this vein that we now embark on the journey of a lifetime, sailing the seas of missions work. As most of you know, Laura and I have been prayerfully considering a position with Awana International Canada. Yesterday, we were offered that missionary position and after a period of prayerfully seeking the LORD's will, we have realized this is the path He has laid out for us. So begins a new chapter in the life and times of Laura and Bobby.
The LORD has always been gracious to us and He who is unchangeable and unfailing will take us to places of faith that we have yet to experience. We look forward to the ROCK steadying us on the seas of life as we begin to prayerfully raise support, both financial and in prayer partners. We "Cast all our cares upon Him who will not allow us to be moved" (Psalm 55:22) and look forward to glorifying God in His work in reaching children and their families in the name of Jesus.
We "are anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and thanksgiving, we are making our requests known to God, and it is He who will give us His peace." (Philippians 4:6-7)
So away we go.....
