Crazy Adventures in Nagelland

We spent the month of April seeking the face of God and asking Him about the “next step” in our lives. It’s ALWAYS amazing to me how much the Lord can change your heart in a single hour of solid prayer. It’s ALWAS amazing to me that when you seek the Lord with your whole heart, He is faithful to meet with you.
We were hoping to be able to stay on with our current ministry down here through the summer to continue to intercede and lead worship. But with the recent discovery of our fifth baby on the way, and the small, little fact that the ministry leaders said, “NO.”, we have decided it’s time to move on.
And yes, you did read that right, numero cinco is on the way. Rachel and I often feel like terrible parents, but the Lord must see something worthy in us that we do not see ourselves. Though the patterns and ways of the world tell us that children are a burden and a nuisance, we believe that children are a blessing and a reward from the Lord. We are excited to be found worthy of the responsibility of another life. And EVERYONE knows that the world needs more red-heads!
It’s funny when the pieces all began to come together how the peace of God surrounds you and everything seems to make sense. We’ll be spending the next few days selling all of our belongings, once again, and then we’ll be making our way up to the States. All of our pregnancies so far have been smooth however; Rachel does have a unique medical condition with her blood, during pregnancy, that the doctors always like to keep a close eye on.
So, you may ask, is this the end of the Nagel’s mission’s career? Not at all! It’s just the beginning. It’s not all clear yet, but with the many people who have come to us and said, “Just choose a country and we will follow you guys anywhere.”, we begin to catch the hint that perhaps the Lord is leading us to put together a team or teams of people to take over the world for Jesus. We’ll give you more details as it all comes together.
Anyways, we are excited to catch up with our many faithful supporters, take some long hot showers, and of course, flush our toilet paper. We should be to Colorado by the end of this month and it will be so good to see you face-to-face.
We are overwhelmed with excitement and can’t wait to see where the crazy adventure of following God leads us next! See you soon.
