The Fitches' Future is in New Zealand

So I (Gordon) have been offered the position of National Youth Coordinator for the Presbyterian Church of New Zealand; I have accepted the offer in principle, dependant on the acquisition of the relevant work visas.

Our hope is that we can make this move happen in the middle of January 2010 before the kids start school in February, but we may have to be flexible. If we move we will be living in the capital of New Zealand, Wellington. which seems to be an awesome city from all accounts. And New Zealand seems to be a country equally influenced by both Great Britain and the US, so we should both feel at home.

This has not been an easy decision to make, our family is really settled in Spokane, I really enjoy my current work situation, and because we have so many close friends and family members in Spokane, leaving will bring us much sorrow. However daunting moving continent is, the position of National Youth Coordinator is really exciting and I feel that it suits my gifts well. We really have left the move in God’s hands, believing that He will either open this door, or firmly shut it.

We of course would love to have any of you come and visit us, and if you can hop onto a plane, there will be a house waiting for you to stay in.
