Well ... so much has happened in the last couple of years ... but the culmination of all of it is that we applied and were accepted to work with MAF (Mission Aviation Fellowship!) for long term mission service overseas!
As Mark is an aircraft design engineer by trade ... he needs a little bit more training to become a maintenance engineer ... and MAF UK have a unique partnership with a mission called MMS Aviation in Coshocton, Ohio ... who can train Mark while he works on mission aircraft!
MMS's slogan is 'Preparing People and Planes for Worldwide Mission' and we had the opportunity to visit them in March this year ... to see if it would be the right place for us to live and serve and for them to check us out a bit too ... we're pleased to say it was a positive experience all round! 
We stayed with a lovely family ... Mike and Isobel Dunkley ... and Isobel's mum Joan was visiting from Zimbabwe too! They had a gorgeous log cabin which they designed and built themselves ... and we stayed in their basement flat (a space bigger than our little cottage in Dorset!!) ... it was great to have our own space ... but also to be welcomed as part of their family for the time we stayed with them!! They made us feel very much at home from the moment we arrived!
