This ought to be an interesting summer!

I have always held the opinion that if God had wanted me to see the sun rise, He would have scheduled it for later in the day, but that opinion is under review since I took this picture last week. I shudder to think of how many spectacular sunrises I've missed.

We have announced a major decision this week - we will be moving back to Canada later this summer! The reasons are laid out in our June newsletter (download a copy here), but in a nutshell the media work and ministry opportunities before us will be best accomplished there, and our girls (especially Shaniah) will be better served by a more traditional school setting. There are several challenges ahead: locating permanent housing; getting the girls into school; finding an affordable car; resettling into a new home church.

We are excited about the opportunities ahead of us. I have been asked to develop an internet presence (including video) for a leadership training ministry in Toronto, I'll be finishing the editing process on the Australia video I shot last month, and I'm filming in Thailand for three weeks next month. Also, I have been developing a new outreach tool for churches whereby they can provide a short video introduction to their church on their website. All of this requires us to be closer to the people we serve.

So, here's the plan. I'm in Thailand from June 20 to July 15. After I get back we'll spend a few weeks tying up some final loose ends here, and then we'll fly back to civilization on or about August 1.

Fasten your seatbelts... it's bound to be quite a ride!
