2010…?
Sunday, October 11, 2009
so it’s been ages since i last posted… a lot has been happening in the background but i haven’t blogged for a while because we’ve only just got something concrete to talk about!
in my last post i mentioned that we’ve been thinking and praying about training with NTM in 2010. since then we’ve talked to a bunch of christian friends, talked to our senior minister, and talked to NTM about it. we’ve got our ministers blessing to go and our applications are in with NTM!!!!!
there are a few things that have to happen before we are able to go: our application has to be approved; NTM needs to finalise trainers for the 2010 course; and we need to raise support for the year or two that we’ll be away.
NTM is a little under-staffed in the training area at the moment; they’re looking for another full time couple to be involved in the training. Unfortunately we may not know whether the course is definitely happening until Oct 31 :-(
because we’ve been paying for my flying training we haven’t been able to put money aside for the training course. because of the continued cost of flying and potentially having kids in the next couple of years we’re very unlikely to be able to support ourselves through training regardless of whether we go in 2010 or sometime in the future. if we don’t go next year i’ll most likely continue working towards my commercial pilots licence and then start flying commercially or do an aviation mechanics apprenticeship – neither of which are likely to provide us with extra funds for training later.
so please be praying for us!! and praying for NTM! if God wants us there, he’ll provide the means…
