As many of you know, we have been patiently (and often impatiently) waiting for our work visa to be completed so we can serve as missionaries in Aruba. The process has been long and frustrating. After several months of waiting, we have finally come to realize this is a closed door for our ministry. BUT ... a new door has opened quickly. We have been asked to go to Grand Cayman, an island in the Western Caribbean to minister. Grand Cayman is a small island (similar in size to Aruba) with a population of about 52,000.
There are currently 2 Assemblies of God churches on the island, First Assembly of God (http://www.firstassembly.com.ky/) and West Bay Assembly of God. We have been asked to serve as interim missionary pastors of West Bay Assembly due to the recent sudden death of their pastor. West Bay Assembly is the "daughter" church of First Assembly. The good news is that, in addition to serving as pastor, we will also be working in the areas of ministry that are very close to our hearts: church planting, discipleship, leadership training and development.
Thanks and appreciation to each of you (our churches, families and friends) that have stood by us and supported us through your encouragement, love, finances and prayers.
