A Bolt of Lightning
Our deadline was a week ago. We were hoping to be at 100% of our support target by July 17 so that we could fly to Kenya on August 17.
We did not reach our goal.
It was a very hard day. We are not sure what God is up to. We wonder if this is just a test of our faith? Or a chance for us to practice patience? Or a closed door?
If only God could send us a message, attached to a bolt of lightning, preferably. Is that too much to ask? We just want to know where God is leading us and guiding us right now.
Our hearts are in Kenya. We desperately long to be on a plane to Kenya on August 17 back to our home and ministry that we love.
At this point, August 17 is not here yet....and we are getting so close - 88% (we only need $830 a month to go) that we are still keeping August 17 circled on our calendar. We are packing up our house in faith and we are trusting that the door is still open.
Please pray with us that God make His plans clear to us. And that if it be His will, we would reach 100% before August 17.

To pack or not to pack, that is the question
Well, we have had a great summer so far! We have been so blessed with many fun outings and summer activities. We started our summer off with a trip to Florida. Jeff's parents treated the whole family to a trip to Disney World - a dream come true! We made so many special memories there. We were then able to tie in that trip with visits with other friends and supporters along the way. We enjoyed each home we were in and it was a joy to catch up with so many.
Now that we are home, we have been dividing our time between work (Jeff is still working at our church), family gatherings, speaking engagements, and trying to figure out when to pack our bags for Kenya.
Our hopeful departure is August 17. We really need to have our support in by July 17 so we can book our tickets and let our landlords know our departure date. We will have a busy month! As we near that deadline, I am starting to pack in faith.
We are at 81% of our total monthly support and trusting that God will bring in the rest in the next few days. If you feel led to partner with us in our ministry at RVA, click on the yellow "donate" button on the sidebar.
In the meantime, we covet your prayers for us in these last days!
