Aloha!
We have a big announcement!
(Nope. No baby. Not this time.)
We are so excited to announce that we have been accepted into YWAM Family DTS (that's Youth with a Mission Family Discipleship Training School) for April 2017.
In a few short months we will be saying goodbye (temporarily) to chilly North Idaho and hello to a spring and summer (20+ weeks!) filled with knowing God and making God known. We are currently in the process of selling the field to obtain the treasure--- aka purging everything we own--- as well as doing what we can to prepare emotionally and spiritually to leap out into the unknown (leaping is the only way we roll, as you may know).
Our DTS will consist of 12 weeks of on-site training in Kona, Hawaii and then 8 weeks of international missions and outreach work in a yet unknown location.
While Nik and I are in class every day, Jordan, Zoe and Xander will be attending Foundation School- their own little mini DTS where they will be learning everything we are in kid-friendly formatting. Silas and Rachael-Ann will beterrorizing bonding with their older cousin who is coming with us as our nanny.
Once a week while in Hawaii we will have family outreach time, in addition to family worship time every Tuesday morning and all-campus worship during the week.
We are so excited about what God is going to do to us and through us during this crazy adventure. As always, your prayers are wanted and appreciated!
While Nik and I may be updating periodically, The Smith Kiddos have graciously agreed to be our go-to bloggers/vloggers and Instagrammers during our preparation phase and the DTS itself. Follow the blog and find us on Instagram (OutnumberedSmiths) to make sure you're updated on on their continental and island-bound antics.
Stay tuned from a special message from the kiddos, coming soon :)
