Kate and Kevin Kirchner: A new Start

Well, as most of you may know... as of November 29th Kevin and I are now Mr. & Mrs. Kirchner!

It's crazy to think that we are actually husband and wife just because it sounds so grown up and we still feel so young. It is amazing to have the feeling of feeling so young but still feeling so sure that you want to spend the rest of your life with someone. There are so many adventures ahead of Kevin and I and we are pumped about them. God is going to be with us through it all... the ebb and flow of married life, spiritual life, social life, etc.

Right now Kevin and I are living in a small farm house on one of the church member's land. The Lord's blessings have been so evident in our lives since we moved to Virginia. He continues to woo us with His faithfulness and mysterious whispers of our calling together as a married couple.

Kevin and I have some opportunities ahead of us that we would like to share with all of you so that you could be praying for us in a more specific way.

• Greenville College - 2 year contract as Web Developer - Kevin
• Koinonia Music Center (KMC) - Kevin and I have committed to be part of the leadership with Aaron Appleton and Saul Huber for the establishing of the program.
  
• We hope to be settled, helping and serving, and living in Uganda by the end of 2010 whether it be working for Food for the Hungry Go-Ed program and/or KMC
  

So there are our adventures to come! We believe the Lord is calling us full-time to Uganda so please pray for more specific direction and timing from the Lord for us.

Please also keep us in your prayers as we are going to be traveling a lot in the next month. Here is our itinerary:

• December 16: drive to Greenville and move into our new apartment on the 18th
• December 20-24: Springfield, MO for Christmas with Kevin's family
• December 24-Jan. 6: Fly to Boston, MA for Christmas with my family, stay with my brother, Dave, and sister-in-law, Sarah
• January 6- 9: Fly to Phoenix, AZ for FH Go-Ed Orientation
• January 9: Fly home to Greenville, IL
• January 12: Kevin begins his first day of work

We would appreciate all your prayers and encouragement during this time. Thank you already for all your love and support in so many different ways. We love you all.

May God's face shine upon you today.
