So this morning we had a family style breakfast with eggs and bacon and biscuits and cocoa, and then we did the awkward "have you got everything" dance from upstairs in our townhouse to the old SUV outside because...
Today is the day that my firstborn daughter Kelsey heads out to live in Ecuador in the spread of the true biblical gospel, and in obedience to the command of Christ, but ultimately for the sake of the glory of God our righteous King.
As you know, God has most of our family of 11 sitting still in Birmingham, Alabama for now. But part of his plan includes us watching our little girl/scholar/athlete/fun-loving/ball of fire as she obeys a call on her life from many years ago, one where God whispered in her heart that she would someday tell the covenant story in places other than her home context.
We are joyful and tearful at the same time, so join with us in praying for her, and supporting her in every way God leads you to do, for His Name's sake and for a real biblical gospel in every place on the earth.
I will send along more information later, so look for updates to our blog and email.
For now, you can email Kelsey at kelseynichols2@gmail.com if you woud like to encourage her or if you twitter you can find her tweets, or if you facebook you can look for her there as well.
We are thankful to God for His grace worth sharing!
Blessings-
Chris and Vickie
Welcome to some pictures and letters of God's grace in our lives, and how God has brought our family to embrace the command of Christ to make disciples of all nations. Pray that He will use our lives to make His glory known in every nation. Ask Him for grace for the gospel not to stop with us!
