Exponential Growth...

When we prayed about the possibilities of going to Chad, we were kind of thinking it would be just us, and another family, living out in the middle of nowhere.  The only other people like us would be living hundreds of miles away, and isolation would be one of our biggest challenges.  On our way back to the US, while traveling through the capital city, we were blessed to meet another family that had a desire to live and work among the people of Chad.  We were very excited about the possibilities of a third family joining us, making our team a little larger, and a little stronger.  Well, recently, the Lord has brought yet another family across our paths with the same vision for the people of Chad, and our small team of two families has now grown to four.  Now even though 2 squared is 4, you may be thinking that really isn't that much growth...but then you take into account all of the children on the team, and it really begins to expand.  Two (relatively) small families has now turned into 8 adults and 13 children + one on the way!!!  - And who knows what could happen in the 9 months we spend in Canada.
