1. Adjusting. We landed and are in the full swing of ministry right away and still recovering from travel and getting our home in order and making new friends.
2. Wisdom as we prepare teachings for BSN on the books of Joshua and Judges. Sarah is designing a book overview booklet, pray for speediness and smooth assembly of the project.
3. Wisdom and discernment as we seek God's heart for our involvement with specific projects in the BELT Ministry (Biblical Education and Leadership Training). We are praying over a few countries that we may 'scout' out in February. Pray that we would hear God's voice and leading as we discern time and place.
4. For good health and rest for Sarah and our baby she is carrying (she'll be entering week 12 in a few days).
5. We are trusting for a car (and soon). We have been generously donated money for a car and continue to trust for about $500 more dollars to get something in decent shape and that is safe. Please pray for favor with salesmen and that God would lead us to the perfect fit for our growing family.

arrived, getting settled and hitting the ground running
We are so thankful for you and your prayers to our Father! Bless you! We have felt the power of your prayers the past two weeks. We do realize the last time we got a word out was the day we left, so this is a quick note to let you know how we are and that we have arrived okay.
Our trip to Perth was without incident. For the most part, Sarah felt pretty good the most of the trip. Praise God. Even with delayed flights on our US legs, we made every connection on time and had all of our baggage arrive without a problem - whew. We were even literally "ushered" through customs and immigration in Sydney - I think our ginormous amount of luggage was the reason for that.
We can't believe it's almost been two weeks since our arrival. God has blessed us with a quaint one-bedroom flat that overlooks the city skyline of Perth as the sun goes down each evening. We are close to several of our staff and other friends we have gotten to know the past year and a half. It's especially exciting being close to many new mothers and fathers who have just recently had babies at YWAM Perth.
We were given several days to get situated, find furniture (which God multiplied!) and get rested before quickly landing with both feet, running I might add, into the Bible School for the Nations (which started 2 weeks before our arrival). We are busy preparing teachings, discipling students, serving base, beginnng outreaches to Perth, and praying & considering outreach opportunities for Feburary 2008. It's a very exciting time. We also have begun to tour facilities in which to get the health care needed for Sarah and our baby.
We will write more later, but just wanted to let you know how we were getting on. Keep those prayers coming! We think of you often! We will be in touch again soon with a more detailed update. Blessings!
