Well, Family, most of you already know the Coelho's big news, but we thought we'd officially announce it.
We're moving to England!
On Monday the 16th Manuel got an offer from One Hope's Paul Walker to join the U.K's Broadcasting internship as the Intern Director for at least 3 months. He took me out to dinner, our favorite Don Perico's, and said, "Baby, are you ready for our life to change?" I was, to say the least, a bit astonished when he told me of the opportunity and that the start date for the internship was Sept. 1st. Only a few weeks away.
We prayed about it and felt as though God had answered our prayer that we had been praying over and over since we read the book "In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day" (that's a mouthful isn't it?). We had asked God to put a risk in front of us that we may take it....sound risky to you?
We called Paul the next day and asked for more details and within 2 days we had made the decision to take the position. Not only would it allow for Manuel to continue to do what He's been doing here (as no interns were signed up for this year in Napa, it was perfect timing) but it would allow for me to come alongside and join him in ministry, doing what we both dream to do, making leaders in every country.
God has completely taken care of every finance, every need that has come up, and has made preparations in advance for our coming, we were so blessed to find out everything would be paid for.
As for an official departure date, we are waiting on our visas to be processed and we'll let you know as soon as we know. They've graciously pushed back the start date of the internship to Sept. 13th or 20th so we have enough time to get there, get settled, and know our way around.
And so begins our new chapter in our marriage and ministry!
