We are glad you stopped by to check in on us.  We decided to start a new blog, but we still keep our other one as well.  We wanted to have a blog that can be accessed through our sending denomination, the Evangelical Covenant (http:\/\/www.covchurch.org\/).  We are looking forward to a big month in June!  On June 13th, Kim will be graduating from Rush University with a Master&#39;s in Nursing and a degree as a Family Nurse Practitioner!  (More posts on that at a later time).  At the end of June, we will be commissioned as missionaries with the Covenant Church at the annual meeting in Portland.  What an exciting time to finally feel like we are taking steps closer to getting to the mission field.  We are so excited and look forward to keeping you all updated through this blog.  Blessings and Grace,Joel, Kim, Hireq and Patah<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-report-this\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.covchurch.org\/delp?moderation_action=report_form&object_type=post&object_id=5&width=250&height=300\" class=\"thickbox\" title=\"Report This Post\">Report This Post<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Report This Post<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[42,72],"tags":[8,24651],"class_list":["post-5","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ministry","category-updates","tag-blog","tag-updates"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Welcome - Delplog<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"http:\/\/blogs.covchurch.org\/delp\/?p=5\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Welcome - Delplog\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Report This Post\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"http:\/\/blogs.covchurch.org\/delp\/?p=5\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Delplog\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2009-06-05T02:43:58+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2010-11-26T23:21:51+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/blogs.covchurch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2009\/06\/100_2803-300x200.jpg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Joel &amp;
