Prayer for Guidance - Relocation Overseas
 

Please keep my wife and I in your prayers. We are considering a relocation overseas within the next two years. We need God's guidance and for the right things to happen. Thanks.

Will pray for y'all to follow God's will. I must say I will miss seeing your posts if you go.

why in the world would you go that?
sounds strange to me

I appreciate the sentiment, but I lived overseas for six months a couple of years back and I posted just as much :) Internet is available in most of the world, but the quality varies :)

That's the difference between you and me, Señor Marcos :)

I wouldn't do it - i think it's a mistake

You could come visit me, St.Mark, start saving up now :)

Can you tell us where overseas? I would love to live in another country about half the year! Can't see that ever happening though.

WHERE overseas??? you're being kind of secretive

what would be the reason for this ??

Chile is what we're looking at and really feel good about. I lived there for six months and am pretty familiar with how things work, and job opportunities are good. We need to pray for:

1 - Finances - we have to liquidate some assets and get rid of/sell some things - we try to keep our life simple for this reason

2 - Job situation - there are opportunities for teaching at international schools that will hire before we get there. Otherwise, we would need to move first, then find one. Obviously, the first is preferred.

3 - Church - there are numerous oneness churches in Santiago...we would like to become involved with the one that is God's will for us. I understand that Chile has a new UPC missionary; I was there before he came, so I never met him.

4 - Some of my family has similar reactions as StMark, but they're used to me by now, I think. Still, homesickness is a very real feeling, and it's not just me anymore. My wife and I are both excited about the prospect, though.

5 - Health - we would like to have more children, and can obviously not afford to fly back to the USA every time we have a kid. So good medical care and a job with insurance would be good. Jobs in Chile generally offer both.

Not sure you asked for all that, but thanks for asking :)
