We're in this together

Hey folks, we decided it was time to merge blogs since we've merged so many other areas of life through marriage! We'd love to keep updating with thoughts and adventure from this journey we're on, so check this web from now on: www.jennieandmark.blogspot.com 
Both of us are now working full time in the UK - what a blessing! Mark is working with Boaz Trust as Services Manager. They are a small charity working with destitute asylum seekers here in Manchester. I'll let him share more about that work and how he's finding the job! 
I am working now with Redeeming Our Communities. My job title is Executive PA though we're are still sorting through what all my job may entail. I love what ROC is about - inspiring and empowering Christians and citizens to come together with schools, the police, fire depts, and health services to network resources, seeking to battle together against the issues harming their community. For most communities this is bored youth, resulting in anti-social behaviour, as well as unemployment, breakdown of families, and substance abuse. 

We are both humbled to find ourselves working in organisations we can truly put our heart behind, and be part of God's work here in Manchester. What a blessing!
