Getting Ready...

The road tripping part has ended and we are now in Pandora, OH visiting with Anna's family and spending time with the grandparents before we see them again in possibly what could be 2 years before we return to North America.  The Lord has been so wonderful in providing for our needs over the the past 2 months as we travelled and met up with friends and family.  We have seen the Lord work in miraculous ways as well as he has provided the necessary funds that we need to be able to move overseas and care for our family and participate in the ministry of our Lord at BFA.

While at Orientation in Minnesota, a little over a month ago, we were given the vision and the mission of TeachBeyond from our director George Durance.  It served to me (Clarence) as a wonderful reminder and inspiration about why we have joined this mission organization and why the Lord has called us to be part of his good work in Germany.  I was reminded that we are being given this privilege to participate in the transformation of youth and their families so that the world will be transformed through them and through us.  One of the things that was mentioned was the time of slow growth was over for TeachBeyond and that there could be quite possibly an explosion of people joining our mission organization as they catch on to the vision and direction that the Lord has provided.  I totally agree as we saw 88 people commissioned to go to 18 different countries in the next 2 years.  It's amazing to see the Lord working over the past 10 years since I was part of the Janz Team (now TeachBeyond) community to bring about such a change and such a wonderful ministry/mission change.  God is so good and he has prepared us for good works, just like it says in his Word.

We will be heading out of North America on August 8 and arriving in Germany on August 9, but will not be living in our home for the year until August 15th.  Please continue praying that we will trust in the Lord as we are feeling quite anxious about moving overseas and leaving our support network here in Canada.  Please pray that our children and us will be able to find a good friend whom we can share our joys, our trials and our triumphs and our burdens with.  Pray also that we will be able to travel well through all the airports (4 in total) as we go overseas.  If you want to see pictures of what we've been up to please head over to my (Clarence Yau's) Facebook page.  If you are in the Pandora, OH area please let us know and we would love to set up a time to visit with you.
