VG 2023 Update


We wanted to update our family and friends as we begin 2023. As many of you know, we have been looking for our next ministry opportunity for the past 4 months. We have talked with and visited a number of great churches and through each conversation God is showing us who He is inviting us to be. We have been turned down for opportunities and have turned opportunities down through the process of discerning where is the right fit. As we start 2023, we are talking to three churches about potential positions. It is our hope that one of these will be the next place for us. If not we know that God is guiding us and teaching us about trusting Him. We would appreciate your prayers and support through this next month. Our hope is to find the right fit in early 2023, give Kris an opportunity to refuel and rest, and begin our next season. Feel free to reach out if you are in Lincoln – we would love to connect over coffee or dinner.

Zach is jumping into semester 2 and looks forward to school, serving in the homeless ministry, and beginning to serve at a local church. He is praying for wisdom in finding a good church fit in Phoenix and for what his summer plans should look like in 2023.

Hailey is entering semester 2 of teaching and will teaching English 9 and English 11. She is beginning to serve at a local church in the youth ministry. During this season she is praying for community and clear direction on next steps in her life.

Jack and Hannah are entering semester 2 of teaching this year and are excited that they are each in a great school district and look forward to being in the same class next year. They are discerning on whether to buy a house this next summer.

We are grateful for each of you who have invested in us and look forward to connecting with you when the situation arises. Again if you are in the Lincoln area, we would love to connect.
