Where in the world are Randy and Jacque Wallace, California or West Virginia? And what in the world are they doing?

If you had asked that first question a month ago I would have answered, yes and yes. I was in California and Randy was in West Virginia, and traveling to some other states as well. We flew out in early December to CA to winter out there and Randy came back east early February, I stayed in CA until early March.

And what about the second question? For me, I have been doing pretty much the same as always, dealing with prospective summer mission teams and other responsibilities I’ve been tasked with (none very exciting, which suits me fine). However, since I got back to WV I’ve been stricken (yes! A good term for this!) with severe allergies apparently brought on by the dangerously high pollen counts so early in the season. Good medical attention after a week of slogging it alone, much prayer by many friends, and the hand of the Good Physician, are finally bringing relief.

Randy, on the other hand, is just now starting his allergies. Do pray for him. Job wise, he has new responsibilities as the ministry of Mustard Seeds and Mountains is changing. Among the many things he is doing is development of training materials to go with the book, Mission as Life. He did teaching in various points across the US this winter and will continue to do so this spring, and of course, with the teams all summer as they cycle through week by week. We are excited about these new doors opening as we see the hand of God directing the work.

Now, back in WV, we are gearing up more and more for our summer ministry; hiring summer college interns, taking applications for home repair from local folks and bringing in spring teams. Soon May will be here and the arrival of interns, their training instituted by Randy and Lacy.

I hope you will take the time to read the Seeds of Hope newsletter coming out soon (if you do not regularly receive these but wish to, please email me at Jacque@mustardseeds.org and we will add you to either the email list or postal mailing list. Please specify which you prefer). It holds a lot of important information about where God is leading the ministry. We are excited about the direction in which God is taking Mustard Seeds and Mountains, using the gifts He has given Randy in a fuller way than ever before.

Please continue to pray for us as we look ahead and move forward, stepping out in faith in many ways to accomplish what we believe God wants us to do. Pray for increased financial support to continue to do what God is calling us to do.
