We're at 75%!!!

The latest tally is in and we are pleased to report to all our friends and supporters that we have 75% pledged toward our monthly support!!! A huge mile-stone, no doubt! We still have a ways to go, but the summit is in sight.

Please be in prayer for these four specific things...


1) Obviously, that God would continue building our support network of folks who want to be a part of this mission. We are amazed at the ways in which God is bringing this together right before our eyes. God is granting us favor in the eyes of our fellow Christians and churches. May He continue to do so.

2) We also need wisdom for all the details that need to be attended to that make my head spin. For example: when do we put our house on the market? We'd like to put it up for sale somewhere when we have between 80-85% pledged, but this entails knowing a departure date.

3) Along with this comes considerations about having a moving sale, as well as shipping a container to Peru with some of our belongings (and the all important books!). We need to ship stuff there about three weeks prior to when we want them to actually arrive in Peru.

4) We are praying specifically for a move-to-Peru date of July 26th. (That's the day after Kevin's 9th birthday: "Happy Birthday to you / you're moving to Peru!") Ambitious? Perhaps. Impossible? Nah! Don't forget Who moves mountains....
