As we enter the Christmas season, Jan and I are taking time to pray and begin planning and setting our compass for 2009. Several items are up for consideration and we would love for those who can to please pray for us - that God would speak to us clearly so that we can plan in the light of His presence.
Up for consideration:
The biggest item would be for a more long-term plan for Jan and I to work toward. We've been in Mexico now for two and a half years and we would like some direction for where to focus our energies. There are a lot of things we are doing and could do but we both believe we need to be more specific.
Jan - whether to expand and promote the Language School; whether to more actively promote the short-term missions teams; for Jackson's education beyond 6th grade;
Greg - for my role at Instituto Ministerial «El Calvario» - whether to remain Dean of Men or just teach classes and therefore have more time to help Jan coordinate the short-term teams; to help with specialty classes for Zack & Max in their homeschooling (Logic, Rhetoric, Advanced Lit); for creative ideas for long-term financial sustainability on the missions field.
Both Jan & I - for our role at our church, CFEA "El Carmen" - we've been asked to help lead the marriage outreach ministry which would involve a weekly meeting as well as planning two weekend retreats a year.
We've decided to stay here in Mexico over Christmas Break because I only have 2 weeks off from school and we have a team coming on January 5 so a quick dash up to NC just wouldn't be cost effective this year.
