Sorry it has been so long since I've posted, but we've been busy discovering God's direction for our lives. I didn't think looking for a Youth Pastor job would be so hard. We were lucky enough to visit three amazing churches. I kind of was hoping that we would hate two of them and love one of them, but it wasn't like that. They were all amazing in their own ways. So it made our decision all that much harder. In the end though, we feel God is leading us East to New Brunswick. Quispamsis, NB to be exact (try saying that 10 times fast, I dare you). We are headed to Kings Valley Wesleyan Church to take on the position of Youth and Outreach pastor. The church is amazing and the staff is great. We are excited to get started in our new ministry. I don't know why God has taken us on the journey we've been on this last year, but perhaps it was to wait until this position opened up.A little bit about the church. It's part of the Atlantic District of the Wesleyan church. From what I've heard a very cool district. They have two, count 'em, two camps. Beulah and Caton's Island (yeah that's right the students camp on an island on the St. John River). Quispamsis is also the home town of Tim Horsman for those of you that know him. It is located just outside of St. John, NB on the Bay of Fundy off the Atlantic Ocean. Pretty cool huh. Anyways, we will be spending the next few weeks wrapping stuff up here and looking for a place to live there. Once we're settled you're all welcome to visit. Maybe we can go whale watching, I heard it's mostly boring, but sometimes you actually see a whale.
Well that's it for now. I'm sure many things will be happening in the next few weeks and months and I will trying to update you all as things happen. Thank you to all of you out there that have been praying for us this past year. I believe God has his hand on us.

Hi Dave, I stumbled on your blog. I know you from Silver Lake, went to the same church as Holly B. Anyhow, congrats on finding a church. Kings Valley is an awesome church, hope you really enjoy and there's absolutely nothing like living in the Maritimes. May God bless you during this time of transition.
hey...
i'm so glad to hear that you guys found a place to go. i think of you both a lot...and will continue to remember guys in thought and prayer. take care and hopefully we'll see ya sometime in the future.
Very cool, I'm so glad that you guys are excited about the church and that you will be heading out east. I hope that the move and transition go well. Talk to you soon.
Congrats, bro!
Congratulations! The Maritimes are beautiful! It looks like you'll just miss Nate & Tiff. They'll be coming back here the end of May to intern with Darren at Exit 59!
You may get another chance to interact with our family, though. Anna's talking about going to Bethany in the fall of 2007!
Congratulations, again! Looking forward to hearing how God uses you at King's Valley!
So glad to hear of your exciting news; and, yes, God definitely has had his hand on you guys this past year. Miss you and hope we can see you sometime. :)
Good thing you were finally able to become a permanent resident. Oh, wait. ;o) Now I guess it's Lynette's turn. So glad for you guys.
