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
