New Beginnings

 Life is full of changes and new beginnings. 

For Joe and I the new beginning will also be in a new continent.  We will be moving to South Africa.  We are very excited to be joining what God is already doing on the Africa South Field.  We will be serving as Missionaries with the Church of the Nazarene.  The Africa South Field includes the countries of Botswana, Lesotho, Namibia, South Africa, and Swaziland.   We will be joining the team there and working in the areas of Work and Witness, Partnerships, Field Finances, as well as working with Youth and possibly doing some teaching.   We will be living in Johannesburg, South Africa.  

If you would like to hear more or find out how you can be involved please visit our Convio page by going http://web.nazarene.org/goto/heath.   Or send us an email at heaths.missions@gmail.com

But with new beginnings comes the ending of the chapter before.   Kansas City has been home for me close to seven years, for Joe it has been home for a year and half.  We have made friends who have become family.  We became family here.  South Africa is a half a world away from Kansas City from North Carolina, from Orlando, and from Pennsylvania.   So while we are very excited about the new we are also sad to say goodbye to our family, church families, and our friends.  No one said change was easy.  It can be exciting and good but at the same time it can be hard and emotional. 

Stay tuned here for more on the journey.   Our hope is to post on here once a week.   

Love and Prayers Joe and Beth Heath
