Announcement

For those who have not yet heard, Angie is pregnant! She has had her first doctor's visit and we saw the heart beating strong. He even performed a bit for us. We expect the baby in mid-January while we are in the US. It's truly amazing how God sorts it all in the end. We couldn't have planned out a better timeline if we tried. We will depart London in mid-October for 6 months in the US, which will give us time to settle in and connect with a local doctor before the baby arrives. And then we hope to return to London at the end of April.

We still don't know what God really has in our future. We are as sure as we can be that He wants us in London, but we are still waiting for our approval to return with the company.

In the meantime, we have hit the busiest time of year for us in London. We have 18 interns here now, preparing for ~60 teenagers to arrive next week and another ~60 in three weeks. We are well excited about the potential for God's glory over the next month.

Chris will be leading the morning trainings during this time and walking with a smaller group in South Acton to connect with teenagers in the community.

We also connected with South Acton Community Forum a month ago to discuss the street party that one of our US partners will host in September. A few weeks after I received a phone call from them saying that they have decided to cancel tentative plans that they had for an event in August in order to partner with us in September. Praise God for invitations into the community!
