I don’t know what season you are in right now but know that God is not surprised by your season. \u00a0The new season for the DeCastro family involves moving to Owasso, Oklahoma. \u00a0Rudel’s work has transferred him back to the place where Kelsey and Riley were born. \u00a0We are sad to see Chicago go…we have loved it here, however, many people we love are waiting with open arms for us in Tulsa! \u00a0Riley has found an excellent school that offers the gifted program he needs and both Riley and Kelsey have signed on with one of the best soccer clubs in Oklahoma. \u00a0Our lodging is not very exciting at this point. \u00a0We will be in a two bedroom furnished apartment for at least three months. \u00a0Riley and Kelsey aren’t really looking forward to being roomates but as the scripture above says…it is only for a season. \u00a0Thank you for your prayers during this transition.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

MERGE USA update:<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

MERGE<\/span><\/a>\u00a0USA has taken off! We are getting weekly communications of churches looking for partnerships in the United States! \u00a0We have added 4 new locations since the last newslestter as well as at least 3 more perspective locations. We currently have 4 groups committed to trips as well as 2 new Trip Facilitators! This February are hosting MERGE USA training in LA as well as Mid-Winter our annual denomination conference in San Diego. \u00a0MERGE USA is growing like crazy which is awesome! \u00a0If you would like to give just click the link at the top of this newsletter. \u00a0You can also sign up for a small monthly donation. They add up quickly! \u00a0Keep our trip facilitators in prayer as many of them are hosting teams for the first time. \u00a0Time and organization are easy to talk about but not always easy to implement. \u00a0I am excited about 2013 and love being a part of this ministry! \u00a0It is simply amazing!<\/span>
