Happy New Year!
We have seen more support slowly come in! We were at 0% on September 15th, and are now at an official 17% (current actual support) with almost 30-35% pledge support! We are waiting to hear back from the churches we visited to make any official number posted, so we will be conservative in our calculations. For awhile now, we thought we would only be able to head to PNG sometime next February, but if we see this support continue to trickle in, we might be able to go to PNG this August?!! We are required to raise 75% of our support before we are allowed to enter the country…so here is the break down that makes it possible. We have over 15% of our support required, that is 1/5th of 75% but with our pledge support we could be as high as 50% of the 75% requirement…we are only saying this so that you can get excited with us and pray more specifically so that we can begin the visa process once we get to that requirement. Please PRAY! Your prayers could help us get to the field 6 months earlier, which could lead to us getting into the tribe earlier, which means we could deliver the Gospel (The Message that saves lives) that much earlier…and this is what it is all about; being a Christian, leading people to Christ, fulfilling the Great Commission, and changing the eternal destiny of souls!

GREAT TO HEAR your update on support: it sounds promising for sure. I am working on my budget for 2014, hoping to get some money freed up with tax payments in 2014. I definitely plan to add to your support team efforts…will know more about amount soon.
LOVE YOU and SOOO PROUD of what you are aiming to do….
II Timothy 1:12 “For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.” He is able and you have committed!
Way to go Seth and Nicole! Isn’t God just amazing? What an amazing encouragement with your pledges. I am so glad that you wrote this post as we all are excited with you! Wha hoooooo!
Exciting news! Thanks for the update! Praying daily that you’ll be able to raise your support quickly and get to the field sooner rather than later. 🙂 So glad that it’s all in our Master’s powerful hands. I love your contagious enthusiasm for the Gospel- you’re an inspiration!
