It's been awhile

Yes it's true. It's been almost a year since we've updated this blog. So long in fact our blog title needed to be changed. We have felt the call of God on our lives to pack up our lives and say goodbye to LA and move to Colorado. So we're no longer the Peters in LA, but we're looking for the mountaintop...

It wasn't a hasty or easy decision to move. We felt for a while that God was wrapping up our time in LA. We had been ministering in the city for 4 years as a couple and had made amazing friends, seen God do amazing works in their lives, and we left a bit of our hearts there.
In early July we packed up our car and headed across the desert, and into the mountains of CO. Now after being here 3 months, we are beginning to see more and more of what God has in store for us.
We moved into a rental house with another YWAM couple and their 2 kids. They have a vision to move to France and serve the muslim people. We felt that we could serve them by renting a house with them, to ease in financial burdens and provide a space where they could be a family.
We have found a church that fits our vision of reaching the nations for Jesus and using local outreach to extend his love. We are both working part time, making connections in the city, and meeting new people. We are constantly reminded of the need to be God's hands and feet to everyone we meet, sharing his grace and love.
We have connected with the YWAM base here and are keeping our affiliation with YWAM LA to pioneer the ministry we worked with in LA here in the Springs...we've already picked up the locals lingo :). I (Nicole) was part of the original team that was pioneered in LA in 2002. It holds a special place in my heart and I have so many stories from how God has used the team to change my life, and the lives of so many in schools, juv. halls and prisons. Ask me about it sometime...I'd love to share them with you!
The ministry is called Freedom Project: CO.
