TIME TO SAY GOODBYE

Change is one of the hardest things we must face in our lives and it never seems to let up.  It enters our lives Just when we are getting comfortable with our circumstances  and we must deal with its interminable tenacity.  But as you know, the word says “The Just shall live by Faith”. 

Cheryl and Michael gave two years of their lives to the ministry of Homeward Bound.  They walked through some amazing experiences with us as we went to China in 2005 and 2007, also the Ukraine in 2006.  We sang to more people on those trips than we have sung to during our entire ministry here in the USA.  Their gifts to this ministry were priceless and they will be missed.  Our prayers go with them as they are ministering closer to home.  I imagine the one thing they won’t miss is that nine hour drive they made every weekend to travel and minister with us.  We will miss traveling with their two precious girls Tessa and Haven.  We Love You Girls.

Also, as unbelievable as it seems, it’s time to say goodbye to Les.  Les and Lisa will be ministering as youth directors at a church in Indianapolis.  All of us who have raised a family know the demands of meeting the needs of our children while we have them.  When you have six children the demands are large.  Les has cheerfully given the last eight years of his life to the ministry of Homeward Bound.  The Lord has recently blessed Les with an incredible new career opportunity that will demand more of his time than ever before.  Our prayers go with you Les as you find a way to balance family, ministry and the necessary pain: A JOB. 

We ask you to Pray for Darrell and I as we continue with the ministry.  We have decided for now to start finding music that fits a duet.  We hope you will continue to support our efforts in this ministry we believe the Lord has given us to do.  Our hope is that you will come and share your time with us when we come to your area.  Thank you for all the years you have prayed for us.  We will keep walking with our eyes fixed on Home.
