“Let us fix our eyes on Jesus,
the author and perfecter of our faith…" Heb 12:2
"KEEP PEDALING! I can see it! KEEP GOING! It’s just ahead!”
That’s what Nate and I kept saying last week on the bike ride to see the Barnegat Lighthouse. “It’s gotta be close!” Last week our family was blessed to get away for a few days to the Jersey Shore at a friend’s home. We had three gorgeous days, just the six of us. It was a very special time before the wave of change that is about to crash our shores!
We are planning to arrive at HOPE MOUNTAIN by mid JULY, 2012.
WHERE are we today?
Ø 72% support commitments
Ø 66% one-time set-up needs
Ø Children are enrolled in Faith Academy. Classes start AUG 1.
Ø Still working fulltime while discovering our team partners
Ø Living life with 4 active children
- Nate graduates June 13 and ships out to Marine Boot Camp June 18.
WHAT IS STILL NEEDED to send us on our way?
- Committed PRAYER partners
- $1320/month basic living expenses (any amount is helpful!)
- $10,000 start up costs (furniture, transportation, household, etc)
- $675/month education costs for Heather, Caleb and Matthew
- HOUSING for the family near Faith Academy
MAY 1st is the deadline date WORLDVENTURE needs to have all commitments recorded in order for us to proceed with departure plans. Thanks to each of you who have prayed, encouraged, and given so faithfully this last year. We are trusting God to move these barriers so we can finish the final leg of this journey.
We are SOOOO close! Yet still waiting on God to bring in the last few monthly commitments so that we can move forward with the paperwork, purchasing of tickets, securing housing, and saying goodbyes.
Would you consider joining us on this 3 year marathon!
