And the man said, “They have gone away, for I heard them say, ‘Let us go to Dothan.’” Genesis 37:17

So we have been in Dothan for almost four months now; we are adjusting well. The winter weather has been a little crazy. It has not been consistent at all, with really warm weather followed by sudden drops in temperature with passing fronts. Spring has not quite come full force yet. We are all struggling with some form of allergy over the last week as the pollen count is quite high in this area of the country. Please pray it's all related to outdoor allergies as our rental house does keep a lot of moisture in certain rooms because of old construction and subpar windows.

We just became members at Calvary Baptist Church and could not be more excited about it. We have connected with a lot of great families and feel very welcomed. Calvary has been under new leadership over the past two years with Paul Thompson and we feel the church body is being transformed to a more biblical model of how God designed the church. They are learning to live more radically for the Gospel and how to make disciples as part of their everyday lives. We would love to stay in Dothan up to leaving for a missionary assignment and have Calvary be our home church while away.

Katy and I have been prayerfully considering narrowing down our focus to one missionary organization in which to serve. We have come to the decision and are feeling led to join with Mission Aviation Fellowship upon qualifying for entry. We are very thrilled to announce this and feel motivated as ever to have one organization to focus and advance towards. This means I still need to complete some bible classes before application, and even bigger, we need to pay off our school debt. We have made it under 100k to around $96,800 of remaining student loan debt. We have been living as frugal as possible and have no other debt from credit cards, mortgage, or cars. We only have student loan debt which was pretty difficult to avoid. Please pray we can accomplish all this while in Dothan.

We have come up with an idea for an Etsy business; it may spread more by word of mouth than online. The plan is to make pendants and keychains that remind to pray for unreached people groups of the world that have not heard of Jesus at all. The pendants will feature a map of the location of the unreached people group and will come with a information card with items to pray for. Pray that the product will come together with quality and will be well received.

We just updated the look of our blog and our website www.discipleaviation.com has been updated. Please prayerfully consider partnering with us in our pursuit of the world's unreached through Mission Aviation Fellowship.

And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. Matthew 24:14
