If you receive our newsletter updates, you know that these last few weeks and next few months mark a season of transition for us. After five years of staffing with Youth With A Mission (YWAM), we will be leaving our full-time positions to pursue a time of equipping ourselves for the future.

So what does this mean?

We are no longer YWAM staff, though Mikael will continue to work for YWAM in Northern Ireland on a limited part-time basis. Both of us want to pursue developing our gifts in new ways over the next few years. Mikael is entering a three year undergraduate degree programme at Queen’s University in Belfast, and Renee is looking for work – hopefully in caring for adults with special needs, a field where she has prior experience.

We will appreciate your prayers for this new season. We continue to remain committed to seeing justice and mercy for the downtrodden and outcast through living the values of the Kingdom of Christ. Our life in missions isn’t over; this is simply a new chapter.
