Dear praying friends,
In all the excitement over Luke’s arrival, we had almost forgotten to pass on the news of our decision regarding our future work. We did manage to make up our minds before he was born, but didn’t make it public immediately.
It was a very difficult decision to make and as we mentioned last week, both directions seemed good, but in the end we concluded that we should join AIM. We are glad to finally be heading down a single path, but sorry that it won’t be within Wycliffe. We are certainly not planning on giving up our Wycliffe friends or our interest in Bible Translation. Wycliffe and AIM cooperate closely in many parts of Africa so we are glad to see it is a change of departments rather than a move to a competitor! We are also very happy that we will be able to remain in Bristol.
We have recently sent in our preferences for a place for Christopher at secondary school. Please pray with us that despite our late application, he will be able to get into a good school where he can reach his full potential.
Paul plans to begin working at the AIM office in a few weeks time, though the process of officially transferring between missions will certainly take longer. We will give further details as we get them.
Thank you for all your kind messages of love and support,
Paul & Margo
