Inch By Inch

Just a quick update - we are at a little more than 45% of our support.  When we began March we were barely at 33% so we are excited.  We continue to pray for 50% by tomorrow, but we are celebrating God's provision today.

Several have asked why this push all of a sudden, so here are a few answers....

1. When we were in Spain in January the darkness was overwhelming.  It was no longer words or statistics, it was faces.  There are so many places with no light or hope.  God has called us there and we now understand the need in tangible, real ways.  We believe His return is near and thus our desire to share Him is greater than ever.
2. Hannah and Alex are a big part of our journey.  God called all four of us and we are excited to see how God is preparing and using them even today (ask them about THEIR Burmese ministries).  School begins in September and Hannah will be a senior.  We want her to be there to begin the school year.  Alex will be going to public school and that in itself will be a big adjustment, missing a large part of the year would make it more difficult.
3. We are tired of straddling the fence.  We have one foot here and one foot there.  It is a difficult place to be. 

Why 50% now - it takes about 6 months to get our VISAs.  We begin the process at 50% of our monthly support being promised.  So to be there in September we need to start the process ASAP.

Of course, to arrive in September we must be at 100% of our support by September, so the push won't let up.  Will you pray with us about how you can be a part?  We are not asking you to give to us, but to instead to God.  Will you join with us in obedience to the Great Commission?
