Math

I’ve always thought that I was OK at math, I never really liked the subject, but I figured that I could at least handle addition and subtraction!

But then a few days ago someone who is really good at math informed me that we are leaving in 6 months not 9 like I originally counted! Ooops…. so yes 6 months left…
Even as I am writing this my heart is beating faster and faster in anticipation… SIX MONTHS! CRAZY! In six months we will be in Brazil! There is a lot to do in that time span. But not impossible. It is very encouraging to know that BIM staff is there for us, and really is taking care of telling us what to do next! As far as support raising- I see this as a fun venture…

Yes to most that sounds ridiculous. WHO likes support raising really? I guess I do. I find it so exciting to tell people, actually anyone who will listen, the calling God has put on our lives. I love being in this place, as vulnerable as it can be, trusting God to gather people around us to support our ministry both financially and prayerfully! It delights me to see God bless us, and surprise us.

Of course we need finances, but aside from that what we are concentrating on is forming a core prayer group. We would LOVE to see people commit to praying for each member of our gang specifically. For example if you would like to be on a prayer team for Bella we will send you an update list every week of her prayer needs; the same for Michael, Caleb, and myself. If you want to join PLEASE let me know. We really need people praying NOW! It is impossible for us to do this alone…

Caleb has really know idea what changes lay in store for him, but Bella on the other hand seems to understand and is very excited about being “mishonariees to brasil“. The other day we took them to a Pet store to look at dogs. We told Bella that we will get one in Brazil so she was so excited to look at all the different kinds. She still claims that she wants a pink dog though… I hope she isn’t too disappointed when we don’t get her dream dog!

To some, six months may seem like too sort of a time to go fully supported. I fully disagree, and am confident that the Lord will provide. I look forward to sharing testimonies of His faithfulness and provision. Stay tuned because I have a feeling that there will be many bumps and twists in the road ahead!
