Where Are We, and What Day Is It?

As you can imagine, we have asked each other this question, “where are we, and what day is it?” several times the last couple weeks while on our journey.  In the past two weeks, we have spoken at churches from the southern tip of Indiana, to eastern Michigan, to Central PA. While at each place, we have made great friends, left very encouraged, and the churches have all expressed high interest in supporting us. This is encouraging! We are at 32% of our actual support and are still waiting to hear back from several churches and individuals that said they wanted to support us. We know that all of this is in God’s timing and being done in God’s way. We are trusting in Him so that we can get the support we need (75%) by our desired departure date in January.

One day last week and another time not too long ago we woke up and had a conversation that went like this… “It’s Thursday, no it is Friday… No it’s Thursday, I think it’s Friday. Check your phone please… It’s Monday!” J With traveling hundreds of miles a day, moving from house to house living out of a suitcase, days begin to be a blur. We have had the “missions trip” (which is coming up in less than 4 weeks!) added into the mix, along with our other responsibilities. We will write a separate blog about the trip this week, as well as post the latest Newsletter.

We want to say thank-you to all of you supporting us in a variety of ways! Whether it is through finances, encouragement, or prayer; we NEED YOU on our team! We covet the prayers of you prayer-warriors. God has enabled us to keep safe while on our journey. We have literally seen multiple accidents occur on the highway, missing us by minute’s even seconds. Deer have suddenly darted out right in front of us and just missing us, we have seen 3 accidents where the car in front of us get demolished by the deer, and one time a car passed us on a two-lane road and as it did it hit a deer. God has been good to us, and has allowed our car to keep going. So far just minor repairs and maintenance. We have put on about 40k this past year and by the time you read this blog our car will hit 195k. Pray for our continued safety as we travel, for our car to hold together until we leave (so we do not pour money into it), for us to continue connecting with others in order to build the team God wants behind us, and of course, that we can leave in January (Lord willing).  Several tribes in PNG are asking to know about the Creator and to have His Word in their language, we desire to answer that call and be your feet to the unreached.
