and so our journey begins

Two weeks down the missions road and here's a synopsis of what has happened so far:

• Nathanael has been doing almost all of the legwork, e mailing people talking to people and in general figuring things out
• 
  
• We have all members of our MST except for a leader. yes this is a vital role, preferably someone from our church will fill it
• 
  
• Nathanael has e mailed initial contacts
• 
  
• We have a full job description
• 
  
• Nathanael and the people at EMM have been working on finalizing the budget
• 
  
• We've looked at some potential houses.. although it is very hard to predict if they will be available when we come down
• 
  
• we've been e mailed about our training modules, and Nathanael and I are to find mentors.
• We are working on developing a core team of 14 people who will pray for us regularly

This week we go on much needed much awaited vacation!  :) Hopefully we will come back renewed, refreshed and ready to work!
