Suit and Tie...Must Be Important :)

After 19 hours of driving and 9 days living out of a suitcase....we're back! We just got back on Saturday from our extended stay in Springfield, Missouri for our Missionary Candidate Orientation and Training session. We have officially been commissioned to raise 100% of our budget so that we can be sent to Ohio University!

We were very encouraged throughout the week to see so many other missionaries and missionary candidates who are or will be pioneering campus ministries, planting churches, ministering to internationals, high school students, and so many others. It's nice to know we are part of something bigger than ourselves. Chi Alpha alone is on over 300 universities and colleges throughout the nation with over 22,000 students involved. We are most certainly not alone!

Above: These are a couple of World Missionaries who are coming stateside to join the U.S. Missions team. They. Love. Chi Alpha!!! (Brittany was particularly smitten :)

I (Kyle) am now gearing up for my full-time support raising season during which we will assemble a team to have our backs as we show Ohio University what it's like to love and obey Jesus. Ya!

We very much appreciate all your support and look forward to sharing more of our progress in the near future!

~We Love You
