Well, we have neglected the blog in the hustle and bustle of activity the last month or so! But it has been GOOD activity - sorting, cleaning, and packing in preparation to return to RVA. That is right! In case you missed our most recent newsletter, we reached our goal of 100%! Praise the Lord!
It truly is the Lord who brings us to this goal. We worked hard all year, writing letters, contacting churches, hosting fundraising events, and in the end, it was the Lord's prompting and the Lord's timing. We are so grateful and excited!
We fly on Monday, August 26. Once we arrive on Tuesday night, it will be a whirlwind. There will be teacher in-service meetings, New Parent Orientation (that the staff attend and facilitate), and then the students arrive on Saturday and classes start Monday, Sept. 2. Oh, and unpacking our things from storage and setting up our house....We need prayer that we will get settled quickly!
I must say, it is a relief to be on the other side of the fundraising journey, but the months of wondering, (worrying, unfortunately), and praying were not wasted. God taught us so many important lessons along the way about who He is and about His faithfulness. As a friend of mine says, "Why do we doubt?"
Thank you for following us on this journey! We hope to have more frequent ministry updates from the other side of the ocean!
