First and foremost, thank you! We are at 95% of our outgoing expenses and that is large-in-part due to the faithful giving of monthly partners. It truly is amazing to see God’s people come behind us.
We were able to enjoy Christmas with family. It was meaningful to spend holiday time with them before we set out on this adventure. This was our last Christmas with them for several years. We will be moving to Anna’s parents this week to reduce cost until training begins in March. Having sold nearly all our furniture we and are packing for training in North Carolina and then Nairobi in July.
Anna and I began to feel the weight of support raising a few weeks ago as we were at 67% of our monthly goal and only 7 weeks remaining. I stopped Anna in the hallway as she was pacing and we prayed together. “God, we give you these fears, these anxieties. We are overwhelmed by the enormity of this. Please give us guidance!” We went about our day with the tasks in front of us until not even 10 minutes later we received a call from a potential ministry partner who informed us of their pledge that brought us to 74%. God told me in that moment that much like evangelism, we are called to the task but the results are the work of the Holy Spirit. We are to press on day by day in our task, resting in His faithfulness, as He begins to move members of the body to partner with us.
That being said, we need your help.
Will you please intercede in prayer with us over the next 30 days for God to raise up partners with us to help take the Gospel to the unreached in Africa?
A few thoughts:
- Often the company you work for will match donations to 501(c)3 organizations (AIM counts!). This would double your current donation!
- Will you advocate for us? Even if you yourself can’t financially give, you can still pray and share our story with your friends and family.
- We have a lot of people who have blessed us with one time gifts. If you can pledge this yearly, you can make it count towards our monthly goal! Example, if you can give a yearly gift of $120, this counts as $10/month! $500 is $42/month, and so on.
- Any amount really does add up and help! We are so blessed that even a $10/month gift with prayer makes a huge difference! We know it is given sacrificially and you will be blessed because of it.
- There are 207 people who follow us through our emails who are not currently partnering with us. If all of those people gave only $10/month we would meet our goal.
- Don’t forget to start your pledges, our deadline is February 4th!
Our deadline is February 4th. Training in North Carolina is only once a year and starts in March. We need $3,680 to complete our outgoing expenses. We are at 74% monthly support which means we only need $1,830 to reach 100%. We must be at 100% or we will be delayed until March 2021. We are so close, but we will not get there because of anything we do – all glory and honor goes to God and He shows His faithfulness as we press in with prayer. Please prayerfully consider partnering with us.
