Update 6.2.09 - over 50% there!

Friends,

We have been so blessed by all of your thoughts, prayers, and financial support. It is wonderful to have such encouraging friends and family!

A few weeks ago we went to training for our time in Kenya at WGM, and we are now more excited than ever to get on the field! Our training was so encouraging and we loved learning about how to prepare for cultural differences we will face. Some of the sessions focused on spiritual preparation, and it was great for us to think about what we can work on now in our walk with the Lord to get ready to minister in Kenya. Most of the people that we went to training with are already on the mission field this summer, so we’ve been keeping them in our prayers.

We are excited to share that we have raised over 50% of the total support that we need to get to Kenya! Our goal is still to leave in August or September so we need to raise the final funds soon. WGM needs a field treasurer as quickly as possible since they have gone quite a few months without one. If you are planning on supporting us financially, it would be wonderful if you would send in your pledges or gifts soon so that we can leave on time and fill that need for them.

We are so grateful to all of those who have given and been praying for us. Please let us know if we can do anything for you. If you know of any individuals, small groups, or churches who would be interested in sponsoring us, please let us know!

We’d really love to keep up with all of you, so don’t hesitate to contact us!
