We're Moving!

We're Moving!

(and it seriously might look like this since so many of our GCTS friends have already moved!)

We finally found a place, and after much prayer, made a decision today.  We have to be out of our Gordon-Conwell housing on August 15th, but we wanted to stay in the Boston area while we go through training this next year as we prepare to return to Asia.  This will enable us to remain involved with our church, CityLife, and in community.  So, we will be moving on August 15th to 

Unfortunately it is about 15 minutes farther away from our church in the city, but it just became very clear to us that this was God's provision for many different reasons.  It is a wonderful, cozy little condo that is a seasonal rental (Aug 15 - June 1 - the exact dates we needed a place for), it has 2 bedrooms (sort of) so Jude can move out of the closet and so we also have room for company to come stay with us!  It is across the street from the ocean and in a really beautiful part of the North Shore of Boston.  We are excited about living in a small town, building community among our neighbors, having a washer and dryer(!), and such a peaceful little place to live this year before we move overseas.  The house belongs to a really neat couple who, turns out, are Christians and live in the city during the winter months.  We feel so blessed and are so thankful and excited!  Come visit us!

A little about Rockport:

Population:  8,000

First settled in 1623

In the 1700s was a primarily a place for timber, granite, and lobster fishing

Located on Cape Ann, the town of Rockport is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean on 3 sides.

First made famous by Rudyard Kipling's Captains Courageous

Lately made famous by movies The Proposal with Sandra Bullock and Edge of Darkness, both filmed in Rockport.

Today Rockport is primarily a suburban residential and tourist town, but it is still home to a number of lobster fishermen and artists.
