In this phase of fundraising and preparing to go, we are
learning that this is part of our ministry, as well as the actual work in
Belize. Mark and I were privileged to
share about our mission on 94.1 KBXL “The Voice.” We have also connected
personally with a lot of our friends, family and community about the call God
has put on our life. We are hoping that others will be encouraged to step out in
faith for whatever journey God might have before them.
As for some updates...
Our fundraising has been a whirlwind! We are at $1675 a
month!! FANTASTIC progress! However, that leaves us with a gap of $525 per
month of funding still needed (side note – our former goal was $2500 per month,
but we have decreased that by $300 by determining we can pay off our adoption
loan early next year with our tax return).
Many friends and family have stepped out in faith to support
our mission (maybe you’re one of them – thank you!!!). They are investing in
God’s work in Gales Point, Belize. We are so grateful for our enthusiastic
senders and their faithfulness to God’s call to serve the broader world we live
in.
PRAISE! This past weekend we purchased our “Belize Mobile!”
We are so excited to have a sturdy 4x4. Mark has some adjustments to make it
even more capable of withstanding the rugged dirt roads we will be traveling
the majority of our time in Belize.
Will you please join us as we pray for the final BIG hurdle?
Our house. The sale is pending. We are in negotiations with the bank regarding
the amount of money we will pay for the short sale. We are hoping for an amount
that we can afford. God knows what we can handle and we need to trust Him with
this area of our finances. We appreciate your prayers this week in regards to
this matter!
Lastly, we have two precious cats looking for homes. Charlie
and Eowyn are declawed in the front and are strictly indoor cats. Let us know
if you are interested or know someone who might be.
