Update from Mibu

You may or may not have noticed lately that we've been posting a lot more updates on the Mibu Ministry facebook page! It's been so nice to be able to quickly and more regularly share more of the details of ministry in Mibu! We want to encourage you, if you haven't already, to LIKE the Mibu Ministry facebook page so that those updates can show up in your news feed!

You'll note too that we've changed the look of our email a little bit too. It's been redesigned to better integrate with your choice of social media. Good stuff!

So, stuff that's been going on with us…

First and biggest news is that we're super glad to have welcomed the Chris and Angie Walker family back into Mibu! After 4 years living and serving on our own here, we now have full-time co-workers again! This is a big praise! Chris came in a few weeks ago to prepare the Tartaglia's old house for a renovation allowing their family to live there and function more effectively. A team came from Sun Valley - Tempe and was joined by a couple friends of ours who work in town, and they worked through many big projects at the Walker house, adding on some living area, re-arranging walls and kitchen area, re-working some plumbing and electrical, adding a porch and much more! It was a huge undertaking, but after 9 days they were able to get most of the work done. Now the Walkers are back in and trying to get things organized. We posted tons of pictures of all the work on the Mibu Ministry facebook page, so be sure to check it out.

The logistics leading up to that project kept us swimming in emails and constant changing and re-changing of plans. Along with that I was trying to get the first 10 chapters of 1 Corinthians to a point where it could be left for a few weeks while we go out to town and then catch ourselves a little break. All was achieved, and we're now in town, taking care of a couple medical checks before actually going on our break.

Speaking of breaks, we're really looking forward to a chance to head out of country for a little here, to nearby Indonesia, where we'll be meeting my (Geoff's) parents and brother, along with his girlfriend for a few weeks before heading back into Mibu to resume work. We hope and pray that this time out of the country will allow us some much needed down time and get us recharged and ready to continue serving the Lord with all he's got going on in Mibu! The kids (and us too, of course) are really looking forward to having some time with family we haven't seen for 2 years!
