It's been awhile since we've written, three month actually. So much has happened! In May we visited Atlanta and got to work a few days with Communicycle, a bicycle co-op in Chamblee. It was a perfect fit for Jonathan and even I managed to get my hands dirty. The people are great, the community is fantastic, and the church in only one visit already felt like a new home.
After careful consideration we have decided to make the move. We will be working with people on the northeast side of Atlanta in an area called Chamblee. There is a huge influx of immigrants, many being refugees. This felt comforting since we have been working with refugees here in San Antonio. After being torn between living in the same comfort we are used to and living among the people, we have decided to move in to the neighborhood we are serving and fully embrace all the good and hard times with them.
Our move date is July 30th, we will arrive August 1st. We don't have any definite jobs yet, but great prospects. Until we can prove we have jobs we can't move into permanent housing, but I know the Lord will provide. All He asked was for us to follow and so we do with open hearts and no expectations.
We are incredibly sad to leave San Antonio, our friends and our church. We know they fully support us though and will keep up on facebook, skype, blogger and video streaming. We are thankful for the growth we experienced and the desire for missions Grace Point instilled in us.
Sharp,
Kelly
