Our NEXT MOVE
-Andrew Strom.Sad to say, we do not have as much time as I would like to make
this decision. The time in our rented house in Canada is up in a
few days. We have fasted and prayed about this decision - but
really I believe God already spoke to us very clearly at the US
border. And there has been nothing to change my mind on that.I have had Fox News and the Rutherford Institute wanting to get
involved. We certainly could have made a big scene about the
whole thing and got some real Media mileage and Legal mileage -
maybe even "forced" our way into the U.S. But at the end of the
day I have to come back to the question - "What was God trying
to say to us at that border? And are we going to listen, or are
we going to raise a huge clamor and drown out what He was
wanting to speak to us?"I can still clearly remember the sign inside that building that said-
"We are the Face of the United States" - and I remember thinking
in that moment that a decision was being made about our future
that probably God Himself was behind. It sure was unpleasant
and traumatic, but at least it was definite! There were no shades
of gray - no uncertainty at all. The door was shutting on America
and they were throwing away the key.Of course I feel sad that we will probably never have another
Thanksgiving with my brother and his wife. I feel sad that we will
never again see all our precious friends right across that vast nation.
I am even going to miss Wal-Mart! But I have to tell you that behind
it all I think God is trying to tell us something. And it is so definite
that I believe our family has to listen. I have believed this since the
moment it happened. Our time in North America is up. Maybe
just temporarily - or maybe forever. I don't know. But time is up.This week we fly back home to New Zealand and most likely to
Australia as well. I am looking forward to seeing what is going to
happen, since God redirected our steps so drastically. He must
have something in store.We are not giving up in any way. Our emails, articles, books and
videos will continue. Right now we have a fantastic mixing guy who
worked with many famous musicians (now a Christian) mixing
our next music album. (His name is Jerry Masters and you can get
his book on Amazon if you ever want to). He simply emailed me
one day and asked if he could help. Even at this early stage I feel
like our songs are sounding better than I thought possible. We truly
believe music can set a platform for the speaking forth of Truth.
And it is a whole new exciting chapter for us.Please don't feel sad on our behalf. And don't be angry at what has
taken place. God is doing something here and we are perfectly
prepared to walk His path - wherever that leads. We will keep in
touch with you all on the Internet.I just want to say a huge thankyou to all our wonderful friends in
the USA and Canada. We are going to miss you all very much.
North America remains dear to our hearts. But certainly, as many
sense, there are dark and dangerous days ahead.Our richest blessings to you all, my friends. Thankyou so much for
all the prayers and support you have offered up on our behalf. My
whole family - Jacqui, Ben, Jasmine, Kirsten, Hope and Holly send
their love. We fly out this week. The end of one chapter and the
beginning of another.-Comment on this article at the following website-
