A bright future

Hello family and friends,
It has been quite a year and there are some changes that I wanted to let you all know about. For awhile now Tom and I have felt like God has had a different path in mind for us so after tons of prayer and seeking to determine what and where He wanted us He answered our prayer. Through a good friend we heard about a group called the Navigators, and most specifically their college ministry. We were really drawn in when we heard about how they disciple students and really are a part of peoples lives in the day to day.

We spent tons of time praying about it and talking about it until we both felt that the Navigators collegiate staff is where God wants us to be and where our talents will be best used. It's an exciting time but not without some sadness. Tom gave his notice to First Baptist church where he has been working for the past 5 years, but everyone we have talked to has been so supportive and happy for us, it has been such a blessing. Another blessing is that Cal Poly/Cuesta College campuses is where we are most needed which means we will get stay close to family and friends.

If you are interested in hearing more and/or supporting us please contact me and I can make sure you get our updates. Also if you know anyone who might be interested in hearing about what we are doing or supporting (friends, churchs etc) please either give them our contact information or visa versa . Tom will be leaving FBC as of January 1, 2009 and as we transfer into Navigators we will have a few tight months so please pray for us as we enter into this new adventure. Also if you have moved in the last year please email me your new address so the letter will know where to find you.

Thank you so much, God Bless
Nicole and Tom Nelson
