Life is a bit chaotic in the Huckins' family at the moment as we prepare to move to our new home and new ministry in Golden Hill. Between teaching at Mt. Hermon, doctor visits, trying to find a place to live, packing up last minute stuff, meeting with close friends/family, fundraising and emotionally preparing, life is a bit of a whirlwind...but a whirlwind we are at great peace to exist within as we step into our new role.
Here are three big items where we could use support:
1.
Our baby girl is now only a month (unless there are plans we aren't aware of!) from arriving into our waiting arms. Please pray that Janny has strength and gets needed rest in the midst of this move. Also, our baby is breech and needs to turn in order for us to have her naturally, which is a HUGE desire of ours.
2.
We need financial partners in this new mission. Although we have great hope and peace about our new role serving the Church and God's Mission, we have a long way to go until we are financially sustainable. Thank you for those that have stepped into this story through your financial partnership! If you haven't, please consider this opportunity to share in this ministry along side of us.
3.
We need a place to live. Although we have been close to finding a apartment/small house in Golden Hill, we have still not signed a lease. It is really hard to arrange from a distance, but please pray that we will locate a place that will put us in the center of our new community and where we can settle in before the birth of our child.
Thanks for sharing and please contact us if you have any questions about how to participate in this adventure!
Although it took us two more weeks than we had hoped and a delay due to a strange insect that had made our new home its old home, we have officially moved into Golden Hill. Quick story: Before we had signed any leases, we stood in the backyard of a small complex of 4 condo-like units talking to the landlord. A couple minutes later, we heard our names being called from the window of the bottom unit. It happened to be an old friend who was good buddies with two of our former students from Salinas Valley Community Church who I had gotten to know pretty well back in the Monterey area! We couldn't believe it and we soon found out that he is now married and lived right below the unit we were considering. Long story short, we decided to sign the lease, are now neighbors with this couple and have already had great interactions the other two tennants. We see this being a beautiful opportunity to share life and God's story with those we will be sharing walls with. Also, we are just across the street from a home where four Nieucommunties apprentices live and they have already brought us food and offered a bunch of help in our move. Although our place didn't meet exactly what we were hoping for stucturally, it is right in the center of Golden Hill and clearly will foster some great relationships. Thanks for praying!

Nearly everyday we are offered meals and help moving from our new church community and we continue to be overwhelmed with the welcoming support and love they offer. After 7 days of moving/unpacking, Janny can FINALLY "nest" for a couple days before we meet our baby girl!
