We might not be leaving in a rocket, but in less than 42 hours we start our 4 day journey. We feel overwhelmed with emotions as we say good-bye to great friends and family. We spoke to our church Sunday night and said, “this might be the last time we see several of you on this side of eternity. Make sure that your life is attached to the Great Commission, or else it is meaningless”. It is humbling to think we may not see some of the people we love ever again until we are with the Father, but His message is worth it, He is worthy of all things, even our short lives.
Thank you to all of you who partner with us financially and or prayerfully. We could not be where we are at without each and everyone one of you. We are leaving not only at 95% support, and having our initial needs met, but we are leaving knowing we are loved, prayed for, and with a great support team behind us. Please stay connected, we will communicate as much as possible.
From snowmen to sweat stains, we are changing everything about our lives: weather from under 20 degrees with snow, to hot humid tropical weather, from the comforts of TV, food, knowing the language, to a foreign language, markets, and a land where everything is new. We are heading into a BIG change; we are as ready as anyone can be. We will be going straight to language learning the day we get there or the day after, please pray we acclimate well. We have just a few things left to do: our taxes, turn off our phone plans, and a handful of other things. We are spending the last 2 days with Seth’s parents and trying to take it easy. We are packed for the most part, bags are weighed, and we are almost just waiting for our departure time. We appreciate you all!
Your feet to the unreached in PNG, Seth and Nicole Stokes.

May God go before you and be with you, strengthen you, and encourage you!
You are loved and prayed for. That 95% is amazing, isn’t He wonderful! I will be praying for your journey, four days is quite an undertaking. One more time, thank you for being my “feet to the unreached”. Joyce

You are both such a blessing to all who know you, your presence will be missed, it is a great joy to know that one day we will meet again on either side of heaven.
Hallelujah! let the adventures begin.
Praying for you all. I love that quote of making life attached to the great commission. As you both head off on the mission before you, always remember that greater is he that is in you than he who is in the world.
God bless you both! We’ll be praying for you.
Sandi and I will be eagerly awaiting your updates and praying for you as you make the big transition. We know you will be used amazingly by the Lord!
We will be praying…so excited to hear about your new adventures for the Lord! We love you and will be praying for your health and safety. May God richly bless you in all you do!
