Even before we knew one another we have had a heart for missions and travel. It is our desire to live in another country and be with a foreign people group. Over the past few months there has been an urgency put into our hearts to Go. If not now then when? Time is short and youth goes by quickly. We don’t know how long it is going to take to get overseas or if we ever will, but we know that right now it is time to pursue.

Many of you were there, and many know that we were married in January of 2007. Now, we have been happily married 2 years and are living in Oklahoma. We moved to Oklahoma in August of 2007, so that Sharon could attend and play soccer at Bacone College, in Muskogee. We really like it  here, and have met a wonderful group of people at both the College and Fusion Church.

Currently I work at Bacone College as the webdesigner/co-webmaster. It is a fantastic job. I love the people I work with and the work itself. Imagine that. Sharon graduates in May, WAHOO!, and currently works at Swim and Fit in Muskogee and teaches pilates. She too loves her job.

This summer we have been given the opportunity to travel to Peru. We will be in Peru from May 25 to August 3. While we are there we will be playing on a soccer team and traveling throughout Lima and the surrounding cities sharing the gospel with them. Soccer will be a great common ground for us and the locals.

We feel like this trip is the first stepping stone to take us one step closer to our goal. We are hoping that it will be the first of many doors we walk through.  This trip will also be a great language experience for us. Both of us have had many courses in spanish but we lack the emersion into the culture.
