From Start(er) to Finish

There are times in your life when you are able to look back and see the hand of God in how He orchestrated events to make things work out (big or small) for His children, and other times He allows you in the moment to see that His grace is present. This Wednesday our car officially “broke-down” for the first time, unable to putter to the next destination. By God’s grace we were not traveling around from state-to-state like we did a few days before and are doing again today, as we hear to New York. We had plenty of time, AAA came in 20mins, and the auto part store had the part we needed (the last one by the way!). Thankfully we were able to get our car fixed and back to us within hours…God’s grace is everywhere, yes!? But there is so much more! God provided a paying job for Seth that day, but because of the delay he wasn’t able to get to work until 1pm and didn’t finish it till 3am that day, but it more than covered the cost for the repair. God is too good to us! All that to say, please still pray for us in our travels and for our car to last. We do not want to pour money into something when we are leaving, Lord willing in January, our car is getting close to the 200k mark. So our car was dead for a moment, but then we were able get the car-starter changed within hours and now our Little Red Rocket is running strong.

On lighter news, God has provided 2 churches to visit/speak at, meetings with several pastors from other churches, connect with some supporters, and catch up with good friends all this weekend. That is what our Saturday-Wednesday looks like, just constantly connecting and re-connecting with people in order to: raise our financial support (currently 45-46%), and to raise the awareness of God’s heart for the unreached in the world. Pray we can get to our required goal of 75% by January, and that we can take people with us as fellow missionaries to the white and ready harvest fields of the unreached people groups throughout the world.

We also purchased most of our power (cordless) tools that we would need to take with us to the field. We want to say thank you to our good friends (O’Briens) 🙂 who purchased them for us, thank you! We got a reliable brand (we will be gone for several years at a time) and on discount during this holiday weekend. Another step in making preparations towards PNG, and proof that our God is not only good to us, but lavishes His love upon His children.
