Rumors and Possibilities~

So there have been a lot of conversations, facebook status's and questions about the Harrell's next few months. So here are some facts:

Yes - I will be going to Uganda this year. Last year John, his dad and my dad went to Uganda to hold a pastors conference and God did Mighty things. It has now stemed into a dream of an amazing opportunity to minister to pastors all over the world. Because John and his father have such a passion for this place and this ministry I realized it only seemed appropriate for me to experience it as well. This year they will be putting on a womens conference and so they are looking for men and women! Anyone interested please let us know??!! We are already building an awesome team and are putting on our first fundraiser December 4th check previous post for flyer:)

Yes - Johns parents are moving to Mississippi in the middle of January. They are headed back to care for family as well as feeling led by the Lord to take a HUGE step in faith and begin the journey of starting a new Ministry called "UNCHANGING TRUTH"(the opportunity I just wrote about above)a Ministry to train and equip indigenous pastors in countries where seminary and higher education just isn't possible. An amazing opportunity to be a part of molding and shaping church bodies to know their Word (give them the Word, for that matter) and allow Gods Spirit to move in dark places that are thirsty for the Truth. PLEASE KEEP JOHNS PARENTS IN YOUR PRAYERS!!


Yes - Johns sister and her family will be moving to Texas beginning of December! we will be very sad to not be near them but they need to go back to care for Jason's (johns brother in law) mother who is very sick! PLEASE KEEP THEM IN YOUR PRAYERS as they look for a home and job!

Yes - That means John and I will be out of the house come January and are praying for God to provide us with the perfect home for ministry, a place the boys can call home, and ultimately to live without financial strain of living in Ojai.

Yes - With that said, John and I will be staying in Ojai. God has really given us opportunities here and we are so looking forward to be being used in this valley! We are talking to a church up here in Ojai about a part time worship position and , as of right now, He has swung that door wide open! It is an amazing church and we have had the joy of witnessing God's Holy Spirit moving in that place! It is a place we want to be a part of!

Yes - We will be very SAD to leave our church body in Ventura. We have been so blessed to be a part of CBC. We are so grateful that God has allowed us to serve in different ministries there and we look forward to what God has in store for that church body. We will miss so many families but we also know we will not be losing friendships because most of them do not stem from a Sunday morning conversation:)

YES - Our God has been so faithful these last two years, we have experienced things these last couple years that have molded and shaped us into two people who genuinely love their God and desire to do whatever, whenever, wherever for the sake of His Glory. We are in no way perfect or even close to where we "want to be" as followers of Christ but we are so blessed that He chose to break us and not leave us that way!! That would have not come about had we not been in these seasons of waiting, crying, praying, worshiping, waiting, depression, fear, uncertainty, waiting, praying, worshiping...well you get the point! We are not scared for these next few months because we know the God we serve. We know He is Good and we are content in that:)

YES - God has already used several friends and families in MIGHTY WAYS ( to put it lightly) these last couple of days. We have been blessed beyond our wildest dreams. God has confirmed over and over that He has a plan and that He is in control and it could not have been more confirmed than in this last week:) Thank you (you know who's) Thank you for being obedient to Gods Call! We are so blessed to call you friends!

YES - Please be praying for us! We look forward to the next few steps God has for us and He has already opened and closed doors so clearly that we are confident He is moving and providing for us...but we covet all prayers from our friends and family during this time!
