Exciting News!
“A man’s heart plans his way, But the Lord directs his steps.” - Proverbs 16:9
Dear Family and Friends,
We hope this letter finds you well. We just want to say again how thankful we are for all of you who read our newsletters, pray for us, and support us. We are thankful for all of you and blessed by your partnership in the gospel.
With that said, we have some exciting news to share with you all! As we started this letter with Proverbs 16:9, this verse has been the theme for us the past few months as we have planed our way and the Lord has faithfully directed our steps by opening doors of opportunity for us to walk through.
Therefore we are humbled and excited to announce that we will, Lord-willing, be moving to the country Georgia to join Olivia’s parents and the team there serving at the church (Calvary Chapel Tbilisi) and Bible College. We hope to be a part of a future church plant as the one there has grown and Georgia is in great need of more Bible teaching churches. Our desire is to move sometime in the beginning of 2027, which will depend on God’s provision. We need monthly financial partners in order to fund our lives and the work God is calling us to. Our sending organization, Saving Grace World Missions, requires us to have 80% funding of our monthly budget before they send us to the field.
Please pray for God’s provision and perfect timing!
We are continuing to keep our hands wide open and asking God to keep directing our steps as His plans and ways are far greater than ours! So we ask for your prayers as we walk forward in obedience to Him and the doors He has opened for us.
Now a little about what we have been up to the past few months!
Since we have come back from our vision tour, we have had some really cool opportunities. The Lord has really been teaching us how to depend on Him in all areas of our life. Nathanael has been able to grow in teaching the Word both to the youth and young adults at our church and I (Olivia) recently had the opportunity to teach the women’s study at the church as well! We have been blessed to be able to serve together in young adults by leading worship and helping facilitate. It’s been such a sweet season for us. We have also been able to serve on Sundays both in children’s ministry and worship ministry. We are thankful for a wonderful church to serve God and grow in our giftings.

Earlier this summer, we got to experience such a special full-circle moment! We returned to where it all began for us, the Calvary School of Missions in Mexico. We had the opportunity to encourage the students, share how the Lord has faithfully led us since our time there, and tell them about our plans to move to Georgia! It was such a sweet reminder of God’s faithfulness and how He continues to lead us every step of the way.
Sharing at the School of Missions
Last month we visited friends and the church family at Simple Faith Calvary Chapel in Vancouver Washington and were invited to share about our missions work. We were so blessed by the church and the many who have been praying for and supporting us. God is so good! We also served at their annual vacation bible school and had a blast getting to love on the children and know the church body better.
