2010: plans change…
Thursday, November 26, 2009
tonight we got some sad news. a call from NTM to inform us that the training that we had committed to for 2010 will not be running.
we don’t have heaps of information about what’s going on, but the main reason for the decision from NTM is that there aren’t enough trainers to enable the course to run.
while we are very disappointed about this, it’s good to know that God will direct us where he wants to be – and this is a very clear “NO” for training with NTM next year. we are blessed in a lot of ways… we have a house to live in, we both have jobs, and there are heaps of ways that we can get involved in ministry here next year.
the cancellation of the training course has affected a lot of ppl; our friends in port mac particularly are unsure of what they will do next year now, and the whole team at NTM are finding the situation difficult and disappointing. for those of you who pray, please keep the team at NTM in your prayers, and particularly our friends scott and sarah!
thanks so much for all the support that you guys have been, we really appreciate it! the news hasn’t completely sunk in yet, and we now have to think and pray about what we do in the next couple of years… we’ll keep you informed about that and any other info we get as it comes.
God be praised, his Will will be done. it’s good that we can trust him to have a plan for our lives and we don’t have to worry too much when our plans fail.

Hi Steve and Skye - how disappointing but it seems God is giving you clear guidance here! We will continue to pray - especially that God will open up ministry opportunities where you are :-). Love Steve and Deb!
Hey guys, sorry to hear that after you were so excited about everything. I guess it will give you more time to get the money together somehow. I'll keep praying!
