Preparing for the Adventure Many people have asked us over the last month and a half, “How are things going with the Missions planning?” We are preparing for the Greatest Adventure which includes every facet of our lives. The last month and a half have been a whirlwind of mailing newsletters, presentations in front of Heritage Church and different small groups, mission board meetings, and per-
sonal contacts. Our kids are more and more aware of our moving and Abi tells everyone we meet (including strangers at the grocery store) that we’re going in a helicopter and moving to Guatemala! Thank you for your prayers as they are the backbone of our preparations. We are learning to wait on God for His timing. “Our soul waits for the Lord, He is our help…” Psalm 33:20
Trip to Brookings ,OR in July
How’s the Support Coming? We want say thank you to everyone who has sent us their support cards. It is amazing how people can surprise you!!! Currently we have a team of 29 people who have pledged to support us either in prayer, one time gifts, or monthly donations. We have two Bible Study groups who have pledged to support us diligently in prayer and are praying about additional opportunities. We have a private Christian school who has pledged to pay for our children’s home school curriculum. In our first letter we broke our budget into Living, Ministry, and Benefit expenses.
