We are humbled and grateful to have accepted the call of the Blue River-Kansas City Baptist Association to serve as their Executive Director of Missions beginning officially October 1.
I had the privilege to preach and share missions vision and philosophy last night with the Association's Executive Board. Luke and I flew back from packing out in Prague arriving in Kansas City a few hours before going to the meeting. Debbie is still in Prague for a few more days wrapping things up and teaching English to Czech kids at an outreach camp. She will return to the US Saturday night. Our goodbyes were difficult and draining in Prague with Czech friends and IMB colleagues. Part of our heart will always be in eastern europe and we are grateful to God for the relationships and the privilege we had to serve there for 8 years.
As a result of this leading of the Lord in our life, we look forward to this new ministry and getting moved to Kansas City. Luke actually began school today! It's been hectic but God has been gracious.
We'll share more details later but wanted to get this update out and thank the many of you who have been praying for us.
Gratefully,
Rodney, Debbie and Luke

PTL!
Good news about the ministry role!
I'll be praying for Luke as he begins school in the US, it will be a big change for him.
May the Lord bless your family & ministry as you start off on this new direction of your "great adventure" with the Lord. The Lord continues to have a plan for your lives, a future, and a hope.
Blessings,
Deb (in Warsaw)

God always provides for his children! KC will be blessed as we were.
I will be in KC week of Jan 19-23 for a doctoral seminar at MBTS, any chance of seeing you guys during the week? At this point I am planning on staying in one of the apartments on campus, would love to take you guys to dinner one of the evenings when I'm not obligated to be in class until late in the evening...
Congratulations, Rodney. I hope this turns out to be a great ministry fit for you.
