Friday, August 7th was Joe's last day with his agency. He had amazing talks with everyone at his job and was able to personally thank the leaders for their examples and commitment to him over the past six and a half years. His car was packed with all the books, files and awards from his desk and his phone and keys were turned in. This was it! An hour after he got home, people started to trickle in. 15 people from the USCWM crowded into our dining room with the seven of us and Joe's mom and we all celebrated with cake and punch. Our new co-workers are awesome and we are thrilled to work with all of them to mobilize people to spread God's word to those who have never heard the name of Jesus. Joe will be working as the Creative Director for the Perspectives course to develop national and international marketing campaigns for this ministry.
Tomorrow, we start the training for support raising and then we are off! We will be sending out a newsletter soon so we can let everyone know what's going on. Please pray for us as we step into these unknown waters!
