WalkerTalkie: [What's What With the Walkers] Responding Creatively

The Challenge

There have been some changes in our plans, and I guess we had hoped to have more of the details in place before we sent out an update. However, the details are going to take some time in coming, and we want to keep you informed in the mean time.

It has been determined that Jael’s learning needs are greater than what we can provide for her in the bush at this time. So, we have decided to make it possible for Jael to continue in the school here, where she can get the needed specialized one-on-one training that she needs. As you might guess…this means some changes for us.

Our original plan was to move back into Mibu this summer. However, in providing what is needed for our daughter that would not be possible. Here is where we wish we had more details to share with you. J

Responding… for now

We are in the midst of communicating with our team, and with others here about a possible ministry that would allow for us to remain here where Jael can get the help she needs, but would also allow for us (primarily Chris) to continue our ministry in Mibu as well. This plan could potentially involve a LOT of traveling, some separation, and needs a HUGE amount of wisdom, planning, creativity and prayer. As we work out the details please pray with us! While the decision to keep Jael enrolled at the Christian School here in Goroka was clear, it was still difficult to make. Nevertheless, we are at peace, knowing that as we are seeing to the needs of our children first, everything else will fall into place.

Depending

Although we haven’t shared many details (alas, those elusive details), we would ask you to pray specifically for these things:

That we would be sensitive to the Lord’s direction
That we would find a way to resume a ministry in Mibu, if that’s what the Lord has in store
That Jael will make significant progress during this next year in school
That our hearts would know peace
That we will be a blessing wherever we find ourselves

Thank you so much for standing with us during this time. We will keep you posted, and will fill in those details as they become known to us!

Here because of HIM,

Chris, Angie, Jael, Baruch, and Titus Walker
