Here we are well into March of 2024 already. Hard to imagine. As the Winter is trying to hold on, and Spring is trying to enter, I can confidently tell you that we are all cheering for Spring! While the Winters are beautiful and fun in their own way it’s time for a change 😊
We are also entering into a new season of changes at work, and with family. So much has transpired in 2023, and 2024 seems to promise more of the same excitement. Samuel and Kinley have since moved to her home town, Oklahoma city, to get settled into their first year of marriage. While they love YWAM and their time in Kona, their journey toward and into marriage happened quite quickly. They decided to step out of full-time ministry for the moment, and establish their own rhythm and routine as a newly married couple.
Joel is in his last semester at college here in Kalispell Montana finishing his AA. He has been accepted at Montana State University (MSU) in Bozeman this coming Fall. He will move down there in August to complete his final two years of undergraduate study. We are super proud of him.
Eden continues to impress us and is doing so well. She is in her last semester of her sophomore year (that’s 10th grade for our Aussie readers 😊). Volleyball has started up again, so our Spring is about to become hectic with travel, games, tournaments, and sleepovers.
For Molly and I, our work is transitioning a bit. Molly continues in her work with the Campus Directors. My role however has shifted a bit. Almost 6 years ago I was asked to take on the role of DTS Director on top of my other jobs. I am so pleased and proud to have been able to identify two wonderful replacements for that role.
They are fantastic people, younger and filled with gifts that will allow them to grow the department into a new season of effectiveness. I will remain as the Discipleship Team Leader overseeing DTS, Equip (our leadership development school), Summer Programs, and our School of Missions and Evangelism. But with the crucial role of DTS Director in [someone else’s] safe hands, I can focus more on coaching, leadership spotting and training. It also frees me up a little more to work on a few other personal ministry projects, as well as teaching in other locations.
One highlight from this month already has been an overdue trip out to California to visit dear friends, ministry partners, churches and family. A whirlwind 10 days, and so worth it. Thank you to anyone of you reading this! It was such fun!
We hope you are all doing so well and seeing the Lord interact with you and through you, wherever you are and whatever you do. We are all simply sent-ones where we are, if we will recognize it. We pray that you do!
Love and blessings,
Jeremy and Molly.
GoWests!
