We began our new travel year in a new trailer (provided by the ministry) in a new state with new expectations. We are feeling a little more experienced and a little more comfortable with where God has called our family. We are growing increasingly dependent and desperate for Him to move, sustain, train, educate, change us, mold us, make us in His image and generally mess up any preconceived notion of what we think we need. The first church on Red Team’s schedule is Union Baptist in St. Johnsbury, Vermont. A beautiful area, different from the south we are accustomed to but we still feel very much at home here with this wonderful group of people we are blessed to do life with if only for a week. 
On the trip over, our family had the amazing opportunity to experience Niagra Falls on both the US and Canadian sides. We spent the day exploring, riding the boat, eating lunch and marveling in this small part of God’s beautiful creation.

During our off days in Vermont Pastor Paul was gracious to loan us some fishing poles to use at the river behind the church.. 
The children were also blessed to be able to spend a few days learning self defense from a member of the church.
We are already hearing great things from this group of God’s people about how He is working in their lives and families and in their work places. To hear more of the ministry side of things look for our newsletter and updates on the blog listed as Ministry Updates. For the lighter side and (mostly for the grandparents :’-) we will have our Family Updates on the blog as well. Watch for us on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. Until next time, we love and appreciate all of you for the part you play in our journey with God for revival in our personal lives, our churches, communities, families and nation. Love the BlackPack
