We're in Namibia!

Hey guys! Nicole and I (Tricia) are safe in Windhoek, Namibia. We had a few days of long travel, but got a break to spend a few hours in London. It was great to get to walk around the city for a while and get a new stamp in our passports! So far things are going really well here. We have learned so much about the history and culture of Namibia. It is an overwhelming amount of information and some very hard topics to process through. You can be praying that we will take these lessons to heart and use them as we minister to the people here.
We have had the opportunity to meet several of the missionaries working here through AIM. They have all been so kind and encouraging and we are very thankful for them. One of the missionaries is from Kentucky and we have spent hours with her talking about our amazing state. Its fun to find someone that knows home!
We won’t travel to Rundu, where we will be living, for another week. We are excited to settle in, find out more about how we will be serving, and meet the couple we will be working with. Keep praying for God’s guidance and that we would be open and obedient to His will.
Please bear with us on this blog. Nicole and I are trying to get pictures up here, but we haven’t had a ton of free time and the computer is being difficult! Hopefully they will be up soon. Love you all and hope you’re doing well!

Welcome!

Welcome friends and family! Tricia and I (Nicole) are about to embark on an amazing adventure! We have been given the opportunity to serve the people of Namibia with an organization called Africa Inland Mission. We believe that God has called us to share the gospel with every tribe, tongue and nation. He has put us in a position personally, financially and spititually where we can go. This a step of faith and we are extremely excited to see what God has planned for our time there. We thought this blog would be a great way to keep all of our loved ones informed on how things are going. We will take turns writing updates and informing you of our prayer requests. We strongly believe in the power of prayer and God's response to the prayers of His people. We appreciate all your love, prayers and support!!!

In Christ, Nicole
