I know it's been some time since our last update... but we appreciate your continual thoughts, prayer, and support. We continue to experience God's goodness and faithfulness in our family, and have the opportunity to see it in the lives of others here.
Before we share an update on the ministry, we wanted to officially announce that we are expecting a baby girl. :) Megan is due in the beginning of September. Mom and baby are doing as well as can be. We can't wait for Jude to meet his little sister. We are so very thank-full.
Bible College:
It has been a great semester. We have an awesome group--hungry to grow in their relationship with Jesus, know His Word, and simply enjoy each other. It really is amazing to see 18 nations in one place for one reason.
Prayer Requests:
-For a safe and healthy pregnancy for Megan & the baby
-For those going on outreaches (April 20-May 1st). That people would be built up in, encouraged by, and lives would be given over to... Jesus.
-For preparation of hearts--and practically--for AVFL, finishing Gospel of John for the semester, and the upcoming trip to Ethiopia.
-That Megan and I would continue to be led by the Spirit in our marriage, in raising Jude, and in discipling others.

I'm enjoying class tremendously. The students and I get to spend time with Jesus--looking at who He is through John's Gospel account. It really is a sweet time together.
This Friday the students, interns, and some staff will be heading out on various missions/outreach trips for 12 days. They will be serving in various capacities in Kyrgyzstan, Uganda, England, Hungary, Ireland, Scotland, Serbia, Romania, Kosovo, Italy, Holland, and Poland. The purpose is to come alongside existing churches/ministries and encourage and serve people. Along the way, we seek to share Jesus with those that don't know Him, His love, His grace, His forgiveness... personally.
Summer:
During this time I will be preparing for the summer youth/discipleship program, A Vision For Life (AVFL). Every year we get to see Jesus touch lives, and we desire that continue to be the purpose and vision. If you know of a high school or college students interested, we are still accepting applications for this summer. Our website is http://www.avisionforlife.com.

In May, I will be going to Ethiopia to visit/encourage our friends serving there, Argaw and Rachel Ayele. We all met during our time(s) at bible college together. They oversee an orphanage ministry, taking care of 13 children, in addition to four of their own. This has been something that we've been praying about for some time, and God provided the resources for me to go and bless our dear friends. Again--so thank-full.

Shaun, Megan, Jude, and baby girl. :)
