Milestones in the Euans family
Two very important events happened yesterday. Eleri (our four year old) announced that she was willing to give up her blankie and no longer suck her fingers!!! That is amazing, and for those of you who know her, she has been attached to those things for so long. I agree with David who said with tears, “I no longer have a little girl, she is growing up!” It is awesome to watch her begin to trust God to take care of her instead of her blankie.
Clive, our 7 month old, signed “all done” at dinner as well. I had been working with him for only a few weeks on it and not even consistent. We were all busy eating and talking when all of a sudden I looked over to see both hands over his head raised to the sky waiting for us to see him. How awesome was that moment.
The pleasure we felt with our children this week must be a little like the heavenly father who rejoices in our spiritual growth.

About Us
We are a family headed to do church planting work in Europe, namely Brussels Belgium. We (David and Joanna) were married on May 20th, 2000. Eleri was the first to join the family on Oct. 16, 2004 with Adley Cait announcing herself on May 2, 2006. On September 30th, 2009 we welcomed our little boy Clive into this world!
It’s been a journey since we first met in college studying music. It was there at the University of Akron that we dated for 3 years before getting married and then moving to Baltimore, MD. In Maryland, we had the pleasure of working together for 2 years in an elementary school where we taught music to kids in grades k-5. After 2 years of teaching, David joined the US Navy Band which brought us to Norfolk, and Tabernacle Church. Their heart and passion for missions grabbed our hearts and began to raise questions in our minds about what God may be calling us to.
In 2005 we felt the call to missions and Brussels specifically so we decided to pursue the direction God was leading. Over the past few years we have gone through an immense amount of decision making and transitioning into the life of full time missions work. David is officially done with the Navy and we have been interning at our Church for the past two years. Since we realized we will be here a while longer raising support than we originally thought, David has taken a teaching position at Norfolk Christian. We are also continuing a part time internship at Tabernacle Church of Norfolk.
We are passionate about this call and believe that God is going to accomplish more than we can even ask or think in Brussels and beyond.
