What is in store for the future?

Lots of things have been happening in our lives since the 1st of the year. We praise God that we are currently around 66% for our support level, and so that has been an encouragement to us. After spraining his lower back, Joel has found healing, which makes getting around much better.

We were also able to meet with our team that we will be working with in Canada. We spent about 4 days in January with them, getting to know each other better. The missionaries that are in Canada came down to the states and we were able to go to Wisconsin and stayed with another couple who are raising a support team to go to BC as well. What a wonderful time as God is truly pulling together a team to reach indigenous people in Canada. Abigail also got to where a piece of cheese on her head for the first time.

Many people have asked about the future what is in store, so we would like to post somewhat of a schedule of the next few months, this is a tentative schedule (God could change it at anytime)… Please also see our web-site for dates on speaking engagements when we will share about our ministry. www.sewellsonline.com/schedule

  • February 1st-13th~We will be in southeast Michigan (Sturgis Area).
  • February 14th-March 2nd~We will be in Oakland County area in Michigan.
  • March 5th- March 18th/19th (Approximately)~We will be in southeast Michigan packing all of our stuff to move back to LaGrange, Wyoming.
  • March 19th-March 31st~We will be in Wyoming & Colorado.
  • April 1st-April 17th~We will be in Alaska for the wedding of Joel’s good friend Dan Lathrop.
  • April 17th-April 25th~We will be back in Lagrange, Wyoming.
  • April 29th-June 23rd~We will be at MDP in Timber Bay, Saskatchewan. http://www.imcomissions.net
  • June 23rd-?~We will be traveling back to LaGrange, Wyoming.
  • July 12th (Approximately)~Amanda’s tentative due date for our 2nd child!!!
Sometime after that we hope to get to Canada. We have to be “released” from the home office in Boring, Oregon, providing that we are at 100% of our monthly support level.

Some things to be praying about:

  • That God would be given glory through this time of change in our lives!
  • We will find a way to get all of our stuff from Southeast Michigan to LaGrange.
  • That MDP will be a good time of learning and that we will be moldable to the adjustments that we need to make in our lives.
  • For Abigail in all the transitions she makes, all the “hi’s & “bye’s”, we hope that she will still be able to attach herself to people.
  • That God would continue to raise up a support team as we go to minister to indigenous people of Canada.
Thanks so much!, again we ask you to let us know how we can pray for you!!!
