Here we are...again! This time its the end of a time in our lives that is painful, but needed. Below is the letter we sent out to all of you who have financially partnered with us since we've been back in the states. This will give you an eye full of what we're doing to transition into independent status...so to speak. Though we will ALWAYS need your prayers and encouragement...probably more so! 

March 2008

Well, in time, all good things must come to an end it seems. After three and half years of amazing, life-changing experiences in South Africa and one and half years of transitioning into missional living here in the states, we now come to the time where we are ending our missionary journey with CRM/NieuCommunities and stepping back into the business world - integrating our missional training with the every day life of full time business work, while serving our family, friends, neighbors, community, and ministries throughout the week in alternative ways.

It is with great sadness that we are sending this update out as we reflect on all our opportunities we have had to learn, grow, and serve with CRM/NieuCommunities.  We’ve had an incredible journey with all of you – through prayer and financial partnership –while traveling through the ups and downs of missionary work, as well as foster parenting.  Having you along on this crazy ride was the only reason we could do what we did. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all the prayers, the emails of encouragement and the financial support over the years.

Since both Sean and I are working full time now in the business world, we can no longer receive the financial support through CRM.  So at this time, we will need to ask you not to send any more financial donations to CRM on our behalf. However, for those of you who still desire to financially support the kind of missionary endeavors we were involved, we would love to encourage you in redirecting your financial support to any one of the team members in NieuCommunities South Africa, Vancouver or the soon-to-be site in San Diego.  The teams are made up of wonderful, committed, faithful people who could certainly use the additional support! Take a look at www.crmleaders.org for more information.

We will still be maintaining the FraserWorld website since Sean will continue serving his patients as a hospice chaplain and pursuing opportunities to serve the homeless community at the Long Beach Rescue Mission, and I am still serving in kid's ministry at Terra Nova Church and look forward to getting more involved with a group of likeminded believers again.

With the kids gone, us working full time in the business world and leaving CRM, we are entering into another transitional time….and could really use your prayers.  This will be a hard transition to make - a very emotional one for us.  

Thank you, again, for your love and support and we look forward to still sharing life with you in the many years to come!
