The Countdown Is On!!!

We have made the jump, into the final 10% of our MAF ministry support which is so fantastic.  This weekend we had a number of people partnered with us monthly which gave us a real boost and we are still waiting on the final number from our event at Ash's.  Thanks to all who came out and enjoy some great food and made it a fun day.

With 6.3% remaining we can't stress enough the importance of not putting it off, to partner with us today, in this incredible ministry of reaching the people in the DRC with the love of Christ and the message of salvation.  We have said it before, but every monthly gift of $75 move us 1% closer to complete funding.  Every $20 monthly or $240 yearly, covers us for a day of service and fills in one more date on our calander.  Only 23 days left to fill.

Back in September during our visit to Alberta, we were encouraged to set a hard goal of when we thought our funding would be complete.  As eager as were were to say Oct, we knew realistically, end of February would be a good goal.  Having this date in our mind, renewed our ambition and approach as we headed into the final months of the year.  God moved in amazing ways and brought a steady support increase each week and at the end of 2014 we were at 77%.  We were thrilled to be in the final quarter.


Now as we look to the end of February, being only 2 1/2 weeks away, we are almost giddy with anticipation of how God is going to move to bring in the final %.  Nothing is impossible for Him.   It might even happen in the next week.  We will keep sharing our story but it is God who will do the work in peoples hearts. 

We also had some great discussions with people in the office this week and we are ready to change gears slightly and begin departure preparations, working through required vaccines and shipping logistics.
Thank you for your continued prayers as we head to the finish line of ministry support raising and step into preparation mode.
