We're making a SPIRITUAL move! God is transforming our thinking about the rest of our days.
We're making an EMOTIONAL move! Sewall Architecture is drawing to a conclusion. We're leaving the comfort of the familiar.
We're making a PHYSICAL move! God has surprised us by leading us to a new home in Fayetteville, Arkansas in the growing missions community there. They are passionate about being strategic in seeing that every tongue, tribe and nation will be able to make the choice to worship their creator and their great Savior Jesus in spirit and in truth just as we are.

OK, but what are the specifics? Here's the long story short: In 1998, we watched a series of videos by Bob Sjogren and Steve Hawthorne that we got so excited about, we had to do something about it! In fact, the fire is still burning in our hearts more brightly than ever, having been through several years of the class, Perspectives on the World Christian Movement . Many of you have crossed to the other side of the street when you saw us coming, knowing we were going to block the sidewalk and give you another set of persuasive arguments about why you should take the Perspectives class. God used it in a mighty way with us to see clearly His missionary heart, and we are ruined for the ordinary.
After several years of being caretakers for my mother until her great homecoming in December, 2004, we knew we were entering a new season, which--interestingly enough--coincided with the move of the Mobilization Division of the U S Center for World Missions (the originator of the Perspectives class) from Pasadena, California, to Fayetteville, Arkansas. A friend from the days of the video excitement of 1998 invited us to consider the possibility of joining the Fayetteville team. I remember the exact place and time several days later--driving down Kanis Road on a Saturday afternoon--when the mutual thought balloon formed in the car between us--"This is of God! Take it to heart and consider what I might have for you there!"
So...how can I "GO" with you? We are looking for a few good men and women. God has a vast number of avenues through which He wants to bless us, and we are confident that God is already at work stirring the hearts of those He has in mind to be blessed through teaming up with us. We're praying it will be clear to you. Is that thought balloon forming in your mind? Can we talk?

What will this mean for me if I "GO" with you?
1. Yes--FAQ--we are looking for those who want to be part of our team with their financial resources, but we hope you can see our heart to build a team of worshippers who are making the SPIRITUAL move with us and want to be more strategic themselves.
2. We will be equipping you with some tools to do this along the way.
3. We hope you will consider getting involved with the Perspectives class--
If you've taken it already, join the team to make it happen next year for others. If you haven't taken it yet, plan now to take it in the spring of 2008. (We will provide our financial team with the textbook to get you started.)
4. When God grips your heart with His passion to bring all people everywhere to Himself through the class or in an infinite number of other ways, we can join with you to provide the atmosphere to nurture this same passion in your own church, campus, and community.
5. We have many other ideas to share with you but more about that later...
