Happy New Year!!

Okay, we know it's a little late for a genuine "Happy New Year!!" post.

Yet, if you're anything like us, '2015' still looks like an awkward distant cousin and you're probably still scratching out the 4's that you keep writing instead of 5's. Anybody?

Regardless, here we are, thinking about the future all over again. And we are extremely excited to share some big news with all of you . . .

After praying for months and listening to advice / encouragement from family and dear friends, we have decided to recommit to the ministry here in Vienna!

Here are the details: we plan on staying another two years, serving in the same capacities as we have been, while deepening relationships and possibly opening up to any other roles God might guide us into. This means that Caleb will continue teaching at the school, in the high school English department, and Britney will stay connected with the extracurricular activities she has been serving in (such as planning the school dance!).

Of course, we will be engaged in other ministry opportunities, as we have been, such as serving in our church.

A big part of this decision rested on many of you, our prayer & financial supporting team. Without your desire to continue in ministry with us, we wouldn't be able to choose to stay here in Vienna. We will be connecting with you with more specific details as we ease out of the holiday season (anybody's tree still up?) and we are determined to open up new, creative ways of communication, while continuing with the blog post and prayer letters.

Keep checking back here for pictures of Ollie and stories of God's goodness here in Vienna!

Peace,
Caleb & Britney & Oliver!!
