UPDATE - UPDATE - George and Tondra

After unpacking and getting our new apartment set to live and entertain, we are finally rested and ready for what God has for us. We are excited to be on one of the greatest ministry teams that one could ask for. One of the over all tasks that we have been assigned is continuing to building and cover the marriage and family ministry – a task we are not only excited about but feel called to. Within the next few weeks we will organize a meeting with leading couples in the church that have a heart to lead and disciple other couples through NYC. From there we hope to start 10-15 small groups that will give hope to couples and families throughout the city.

In addition, the excitement is in the air for MSNY-Harlem! We have met many people that have expressed interest in helping us to build this site. Right now, the plan is simply to survey and get to know the land, the people and the cultures. We are meeting with old and new Harlemites and people with a great desire to reach this historic neighborhood. We have no doubt that God is going before us preparing the way and setting his divine hook in the hearts of individuals, families, government officials, community leaders, the hurting and the lost. God has called us for such a time as this.

Wow what a journey! We are here! We continue our journey of faith like Abraham and Sahara – leaving our land, our family and friends and going to a place that he has showed us in a distant land! What an amazing adventure we are on – following God, trying to obey his voice, fulfilling the call, establishing his kingdom and sharing the good news of our Savior. We would not exchange one day or moment of our adventure. Where God calls – He provides. Where God is – that’s where we want to be – in His perfect and divine will!
