Big News from the Leongs!!!

Hello, friends!

For your viewing pleasure, please watch the video below. If you'd rather read the text, it's below the video.

Have an excellent day!

Go (North) west, young family! 

When Adam first moved to Columbia in 2007, the best piece of advice he got from a veteran staff was that if he wanted to be successful in a new place, he needed to completely adopt his new town as his own. Adam bought into that idea and for the past 10+ years, Columbia has been home. It has been a home full of great joy, great pain, great triumphs, and great trials, but it has been home nonetheless.

After spending our first year of marriage in St. Louis, we moved to CoMO and here we've found a church home and community, started a family, and seen God do amazing things in the lives of college students here in Mid-Missouri. God has been really good to us here but after much prayer and discernment, we have decided that in 2018, we will be moving to Omaha, Nebraska. The thought of leaving is hard but we are expectant for what God has for us for this new season of life.

What's Next?

We aren't totally sure of the details yet but there are a few things that we do know. We know we'll be moving to Omaha sometime in early 2018. We know that we will still be working for InterVarsity but in slightly different capacities than what we are doing now. We know that Megan will continue to influence the International Student Ministry in our Region and that Adam will be working with Ministry Partnership Development for our Region. We know that we are thankful that we will be closer to Meg's side of the family in South Dakota.

What now?

For now, there are still a lot of details to cover. We are in the process of buying a house in Omaha and getting ready to move. We are finishing up our ministry responsibilities here in CoMO and beginning the hand-off of tasks to the staff who will be taking over. We are also preparing to take a Sabbatical in the first part of 2018, so we can focus on moving and getting established in our new community. 

Until Then?

Please keep us in your prayers as we prepare for a big transition. Saying goodbye, not just to ministry but also to community will be hard. While we are excited about what God has for us for the future, we still want to stay fully present where we are.

Have an excellent day!
