Update from . . . America!!

JER. 29:11
"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the L'd.
Plans to prosper you and not to harm you,
plans to give you a hope and a future."

Yep, we're still here...

We’ve had an interesting last few weeks.  For several reasons, the board has decided against sending us ahead of our visas.  So, we  continue to wait.  Though we were heartbroken at first, He has opened our eyes to see the amazing things He has for us while we’re on this side of the ocean.

In the last few weeks, we have had the opportunity to speak with two ch families about partnering with us in pr’er.  One ch is considering joining us physically overseas!  We’re SO excited to see our brothers and sisters mobilized and passionate about reaching the people we are so longing to serve overseas.

 

SMILE!!!!

We were really encouraged this week while studying the story of the death of Lazarus in SS.  (Jn 11:1-44)

Though we had heard this story many times before, it was like breath of fresh air to our hearts.  Even when J knew Lazarus was sick, he waited.  Two days, he waited.  Even before he went to Lazarus’ tomb, He told the disciples, “...this is for the glory of G so that the Son of G may be glorified through it...”

So, we wait. Believing, anticipating, excited to see His awesome gl'ry through all of this.  Even though we don’t always understand His timing, we know, we know it is all for His glory.

Celebrations and Requests:

• Andrew has his visa in hand!  His trip to the consulate was boring and perfect!

• We have consistently been able to contact the consulate through email.  They actually answer our emails right away!

• We have two new ch families who are joining us in pr’er!

• Dad continues to encourage us daily.  He’s awesome.

• Our teammates overseas have found us an amazing apartment and they are setting it up for us before we arrive!

• Please join us in asking for our visas to come back... in His perfect timing.  Also, that we would continue to be patient and aware of the things Dad has for us while we’re here.

• Please remember LFBC- the ch family that is considering joining us on the field.

• Please remember the RB people Dad has called us to.  Please join us in asking that He would stir in their hearts and do a mighty work through our team.

Thank you beyond words....

To know that you are behind us, with us and are covering us in your pr’ers is more encouragement to us than we can even say.  We are so thankful to have you in our lives.

Waiting in peace....               .
