New Steps

Segaar-King Family in Colorado for a Re-Entry Program

Our Twins at Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs

Each day we take a new step by God's grace.  Yesterday was the day our three youngest children began their new school-year at Grand Rapids Christian.  In years past, the children would have left at the end of February to return to Haiti for our field service.  Now that our service in mission will happen in Grand Rapids, the children face school with a sense of permanence.  At the beginning of August we moved into our new home in Kentwood, MI.  For many people, moving in to a new home is exciting and joyful.  While it certainly has some of those feelings for us, it also marks a sense of loss because it means that we have put done long-term roots in Michigan and will not return to former friends and colleagues.  We are finally beginning to plan our supporting church visitation which will last over the course of a year or more.  Resonate's Church Relations department will be contacting your church soon to set something up.  One thing that hasn't changed is that we are still involved in mission for the Christian Reformed Church, but in a different way.  Now we see church planting, church renewal, campus ministry, international missions and missional leadership development from a different angle.  While it is a privilege to be involved in strategy and high-level leadership, we miss the "earthy" mission experience in Haiti.  Please pray for our family as we take all of these new steps.
