Missio Colonia | Kevin and Kathi in Cologne, Germany

We found out from someone over at Greater Europe Mission HQ that the Pre-Field training we were planning on attending in October actually begins September 5th. On top of that, if we want to have a spot in that training, we need to be at 70% by the beginning of August. This is has really put a wrench in all of our expectations, but I do believe that God has been preparing us for this the past couple of weeks.

He has been showing us that we have been putting too much hope in our own timetables for this ministry. He's spoken to us through several different avenues to put our trust in him and not in our effort to get there by a certain time. So, now that this has happen, we actually feel a great peace about it. We probably won't make this fall training (not that God can't make that happen), so we'll end up going to Pre-Field sometime late winter, probably in February. This gives us plenty of time to get to 70% and beyond. Ideally, we could be close to completely finishing by the time we go. Either way, we are at peace about the whole thing, and we are confident that we'll be joining the team in Cologne in His timing.
