Happy New Year!

As the year begins, we have a lot to be excited about.  We have a new video, a tentative departure date, and a 100% monthly commitment level well within sight.  Further we are excited about our faithful partners, the ministry that we get to join soon, and the opportunity to serve the Lord overseas.  Most of all we are excited that during a huge transformation change, we are in the hands of a loving God.  That is a safe place to be!

Here is our latest news…

New Video
We are pleased to share our new ministry video that gives a glimpse of what we will be doing and where.  We are so grateful to Charlie Rumble of White Raven Productions for his creative video work, and his desire to use his God-given gifts for the kingdom.

Check out the video, share the video, and let us know what you think.

Tentative Departure Date
After prayer and discussion with our team leader, and an expected 100% support level in the next month and a half , we are looking at March 12th as our departure date for the field.  We are so happy to be working towards this date!

The Remaining Partners Needed
You may have heard the old saying, “many hands make light work”. We believe this is true in the support raising context. We have approximately $1,500 in monthly commitments left to raise in order to be at 100% for our pledged support. This works out to only 30 more supporters at an average of $50/month.  If you don’t currently support us, we would like you to consider helping us reach this goal.  You may be able to give more than $50, or less than $50, but God will use many hands to do his work.  Even the small amounts will play a role.

If you already support us, will you please be praying that we will reach our 100% support so that we can leave in March? We are incredibly blessed by your faithful partnerships!

Language Acquisition School
In other news, our family will leave this Friday, January 15th, to head to the Center for Intercultural Training in North Carolina in order to attend 2 weeks of language acquisition classes.  Essentially we will be trained in language learning, working with tutors and all around given tools that will help make our language learning more successful.

Please Pray For:
Our trip to North Carolina.
Luke’s transition out of the construction business.
Our remaining financial partners.
And our children as we begin to discuss the packing up, and saying goodbye process.

Thank you for your support!
