Today was a big day.
Today we announced to our home church, that Dan would be leaving his position as youth pastor at the end of December, and we will start the process of itineration in January.
It's been an emotional-packed and bitter-sweet day. There were hugs and tears. Questions and congratulations. It is very hard to say goodbye to people who have become family. And yet, when God calls us to a life of serving him, there is always a sacrifice. Sacrifice doesn't look the same to everyone. For us, at this time, it is leaving a place we feel comfortable, and loved - for a new and unknown.
Let me tell you a little bit about ourselves:
Dan is from Ohio, and Abigail is a missionary kid who grew up in Hungary. We met at Continental Theological Seminary in Belgium, fell in love, graduated and got married. We lived in Ohio for a year (2, for Dan), and then moved to Florida. We've been serving at a wonderful church, First Coast Christian Center, and Abigail has been a kindergarten teacher at Seacoast Christian Academy for the past 3 years. We have both felt a call to missions since a young age, and are very excited to embark on this new journey.
Thank you for following along with us.
