It’s been a fruitful 2 months since our last post. I’m sorry for the delay. We have been getting settled in with CrossPointe Church in Orlando (details of this here). It was a very natural transition for us, and we already feel very much a part of this church family. So, here is what we have been up to lately:

- We found a great 3 bedroom townhouse 2 miles from the church I am working with.
- Justin has begin meeting with Pastor Chan, and they have both really enjoyed the time together. Chan has taken part in planting over a dozen churches in the past 7 years and has a lot to offer in regards to training.
- God has provided all the necessary vehicles for us during this season (including a scooter for Justin to hop back and forth to the church office).
- The kids are doing wonderful. They have really enjoyed this transition and love being a part of the children’s program here at CrossPointe.
- Justin just preached his first sermon on January 2nd. If you have 35 minutes to spare, you can listen to it here.

So, that’s the latest. We’ll continue to update you as things progress and we look towards our return to Italy. Please pray as we seek to finish the apprenticeship, raise the necessary funding and return to Italy this summer.
