Mississippi or Bust?

Two months ago, I would have never imagined the mere thought of relocating to the Deep South of Mississippi. In fact, if someone would have told me that I would very much be considering such a move, I would have thought them to be certifiable! I may be from the south...but not THAT south! They're still fighting the war over there!! (And I not so secretly hope that the South will in fact, rise again!) ha ha! Still...here we are, a Pennsylvania Yankee and a Florida Cracker seeking God's will and finding Him leading us more and more in that direction.


What gives?


Chamberlain-Hunt Academy. A Reformed, Christian military boarding school for boys has presented Justin with an opportunity to teach Bible to its students. As many, if not most, of these boys are not Christian and have little desire for the Gospel, we would consider such an opportunity a call to the mission field. We have each visited the school and are very impressed with the work done there as well as the people and families who labor. The decision is a big one for us, but one that we find ourselves more and more at a strange peace with as the Lord makes our way clear. We continue to seek Him in the next few days as we make sure of this calling and ask that you would do the same on our behalf. In case you care to check it out more: http://www.chamberlain-hunt.com/ Thank you for those prayers!

Congrats BeamTeam, you're moving to a very historic area of Mississippi. Port "G" is conveniently located between Natchez and Vicksburg, both of which offer interesting historical significance.

I'm sure the whole team will be participating in battlefield reinactments very soon.

Bec, Justin, M&M -- You all know that I'm praying for your decision. Go where God leads you. Although if that is Mississippi I'll miss you when we come to Florida to visit Anna :(

Go for it! More theologically-solid teachers like Justin are needed in places like this (although I can tell you the 'Wahwa of Northern Agression' is still being fought).

Hope you guys are well.
