We’ve just finished meeting with the BGC board of overseers. They called us back in after the interview and informed us that we were going to be recommended before the full board in a couple weeks, after which we’ll officially be apointed with the BGC. Praise the Lord! So they told us to enjoy this…

So today we got our definitive answer from the IMB that if we’re going to serve at the Belize Mission and Retreat, it’s not going to be with them. Nothing against us, it just doesn’t coincide with their strategy to target unreached people groups. No longer can we reach the mission field on our own…
