To start things off, I wanted to thank each of you for your partnership with us. Abbey and I are overwhelmed by the ongoing support of so many who care about us as a family, and the mission that God has called us to! With that said, God has continued to remain faithful to us and provide for our every need. This update is to communicate just a few of them.

First, we have been very blessed for the past several weeks to have an extra set of hands around the house! Chelsea, a sweet 20 year old college student from Orlando, decided to take the semester off and serve our family full time. She is tremendous! Full of energy, servant hearted, and absolutely loves our children! She will be here until mid-December, after which she will return to her studies at the University of Florida.

Second, Justin recently enrolled in a theological studies program called the Porterbrook Institute. It is a part time, distance program in which he will receive a degree in church planting. It has a high emphasis on training pastors to lead their church on mission to whatever context God has put them in. I (Justin) just returned from England where I attended an initial 5 day intensive. It was a very encouraging time, and affirmed my desire to continue the training and complete the three year program.

With that said, things are about to get rolling with Salerno City Church as we begin to gather as a gospel community in our home and cast vision for the church! Please pray for us during this important season of ministry!
