August 2024
We are thankful for all the work that God is doing through the other activities within the church like adult Sunday school, men’s and women’s Bible studies, and other in-home studies. Please continue to pray for those whom we are serving, and that God would continue to soften hearts to His word and bring more people to Himself!
In family news, we have a big change coming our way at the end of this month. We shared a while back with our family and supporters our decision to take a six month furlough over this Fall/Winter. There is so much that has gone into this big decision for our family and ministry, and we are thankful for the guidance of our sending churches and mentors towards this time. We pray that this time will be an encouraging and renewing experience spending time with loved ones, being poured into spiritually, and recharging our batteries for the vigors of ministry in a different culture and language. We also pray that as we step back from our daily life, we will be able to spend extra time in prayer and in the Word, seeking God's will for our family. Furthermore, we look forward to giving updates and meeting with supporters during this time. It has been amazing to see the pieces fall into place as we plan for this extended trip, and are so thankful for God’s provision in our planning.
We are confident in the team here at our church to carry out the needs and responsibilities while we are away, and we pray that this will be an opportunity for people to step up in ways they haven't needed to before in our absence. We ask for much prayer for us and our team as we prepare for this transition, and strive to leave things well for this time, and for our little family as we adjust to this big change. We also humbly pray that financial support will continue during our home assignment, and that our friends and supporters will come alongside us in understanding as we take this leap of faith.
We are so grateful to our faithful team of prayer and financial partners. Again, we humbly pray that support will continue over our time in the States, and are thankful for the generosity and encouragement we have already received in our planning! Some big prayers have been answered in the last few months, as we have a house lined up to call home for these 6 months, a vehicle to use, and many household items provided for us.
