Big Changes Ahead!

Well...the Modern Nomads have some huge changes ahead, but we are completely excited about it!! Wait for it... :)  Chris and I will be moving to Maputo, Mozambique at the end of this month!!  We are so excited about this new adventure and opportunity God has given us.  Chris graduated from seminary in May, and since that time, we have been seeking Him about what He had for us.  It has been a long few months of prayer, different possible opportunities coming up, and then realizing it wasn't what He wanted for us.  As most of you know, Chris and I have a heart and a passion to take the gospel to the nations.  We always knew that serving internationally was going to be part of our life, but we had no idea just how fast God would move us in this direction.

Chris served in Maputo before we were married, so for him, it feels like he is returning home. I've never been to Africa, so this will be a new adventure for me.  We will be teaching at an international school and working alongside some of our friends in the more rural church plants.  We couldn't have engineered a "job" like the one God has for us. We ask that you guys please pray for us as we make this transition.  We will have internet, so we will keep up using our blog and facebook to keep up with everyone.  We have two more weeks left in America before we leave, so we ask that you pray we get everything done that needs to get done.  We have a few things in our home that needs to be boxed up, AND I (Amanda) have to make the Wal-mart run (which will probably take several trips).  :) :)

God has been so good to give us direction as we seek Him. So...more stories to come from the Modern Nomads :)
