No score and four years ago...

This month it will be 4 years since we began considering and praying about church-planting in Edmonton. It began initially as a sense that we wouldn't be returning to Serbia, which was clearly confirmed not long after through logistical/legal circumstances there. Then, Julie was praying towards church-planting, daily for a couple of weeks, although the city was undecided. Not long after, Dejan sensed a need to survey the map and pray about the direction the Lord would have us go. His attention was directed to Edmonton, and the rest, as they say, is history.

We are now, Lord willing, just weeks away from setting out in this venture and seeing the beginning of our vision come to pass! It has been a period of excitement, growth, testing and much learning for us, and we are grateful to have been given the time of waiting to strengthen our faith. It is such a privilege to be able just to be children of God, we are blessed that He also entrusts us with ministry opportunities such as this.

The final factor in the timing of our move is legal paperwork for our newest little family member, who arrived almost a month ago now. We have the birth certificate and are awaiting the Social Security card so that we can submit an application for a passport. Since all five of us need visas to live in Canada, everyone needs a passport; otherwise we could cross the border with just the birth certificate.

Once we have the documents in hand, we will finalize our packing and get moving! By God's grace, we will be able to enter Canada before winter weather arrives there in earnest. We are in total transition now as a family (the people) and soon will be also as a household (all the stuff). Your prayers are always greatly appreciated.

Till next post,
Dejan and Julie <><
