A Place to Call Home...
Dear
Friends & Partners,
 We just got back from a
wonderful week in France.
We went there in hopes of finding a home and the
right school for our kids - a pretty tall order for just
one week. But the Lord opened the doors, and we
found everything we'd hoped for, and more!
We were looking for a three-bedroom apartment in the
city, but what we found was a brand new garden home in a
quiet neighborhood. This home has four
bedrooms and a small yard, yet rents for less than the
apartments we looked at. There are even children
in the neighborhood that are the same age as our kids -
it's a perfect situation!
We also found a wonderful school for Steven and Rachel.
We were hoping for a school that could accommodate
American kids and help them integrate into the French
education system. What we found, however, was a
very respected institute that offers a bi-lingual program and is
willing to customize a curriculum just for our kids.
They will receive all this specialized attention, and
the tuition is still less than what we budgeted for!
As we were enrolling the kids at their school, the
registrar mentioned that they would need to know our
address as soon as we found a home in France. I
told her that we had actually located a place the
previous day. She was shocked when I explained
that we had just found a brand new home within walking
distance of the school. She replied that new homes
are simply not that easy to find to France, particularly
in such a short time-frame, and then added, "you must be
very lucky people!"
We know, of course, that luck had nothing to do with it.
Many of you prayed with us concerning this trip, and the
Lord surely went ahead of us to prepare the way.
Seeing how everything fell into place so perfectly is a
real faith-builder for us, and makes us so excited about
what God has in store.
Thank you for your faithful support in
finances and prayer. Our ministry in France is only
possible through your
partnership!
Yours
for France,
The Schoberts
Steve, Kristin, Steven II, & Rachel
