Green Light!

Exciting news!!! I recently received an email informing me that I have a "green light" for departure to Latvia sometime in September! This means that I have reached 70% of the first year's worth of financial support. I have many people to thank for that and ultimately all of this comes down to a faithful God who provides abundantly, and raises up His children to do His work. This also means that I have about $20,000.00 more to raise, which might seem impossible, but every contribution makes a difference, and it is important to know that I or we cannot raise it, but God can! I am inexpresibly grateful to everyone for their support in all ways- prayer, sharing the word, financial- everything. Thank you! I will be sending out my first email newsletter in the near future. If you are interested in getting it, please email or facebook me with the email address that you would like that sent to. I pray God's blessings and His peace for all of you! Once more I must share the excitement- I get to leave soon!!! :D

The summer is ending... WELCOME AUTUMN!

I don't have too much new to post about, but still feel like this needs attention given it. I am still in the process of raising support. I am getting ever closer though! Between the work that Mission Central has done, and the financial support that has found it's way through various other efforts I am almost at a point where I will be able to move over to Riga. Of course I will be awaiting the "green light" from World Mission, ever so eagerly. There is still a lot of work that will need to be done, as this really means that I am about 1/2 way funded. A HUGE thank you to everyone that has been praying for me and/or has financially contributed as this journey has begun to take flight. I can't wait to get to a point where the blog entry reads something along the lines of me being able to get plane tickets, but for now I am blessed to be at home with my family. Please pray that things continue to go well, and that paper work and other details get worked out quickly, but thoroughly. I thank God for everyone of you, and I pray that you are all well!
