Mailing!

Well we have finally received our prayer cards and we are ready to send out our first mailing. These next few days and weeks are very important as we will be contacting churches to set up meetings. This can be a time consuming but necessary step.
We would like to ask you to pray for us as we make contacts that the Holy Spirit will burden hearts so that we can be able to set up a strong prayer team for our family, and also for the financial support that we need to raise to go to the field.
The verse that Heather and I regularly turn to is Isaiah 40:31 "But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint".
God's timing is perfect, and to know that depend on Him, go by his schedule we are renewed. That is the commitment that we desire to have to God, and we pray that is your desire. Spiritual endurance, we cannot do it with out the empowering of the Holy Spirit.

Our goal is to be able to at least schedule 2 meetings by the end of the year. We value your prayer for our family.

Freedom

The last month has been a little interesting with Makayla and her little cast. Thankfully the Lord gave us the strength to get through it. Really I think it was harder on us than Makayla. At the end she was walking with it. It is so amazing how quickly kids adapt and heal. She is now out of the cast and running around with a little limp but that hardly slows her down.

This next week we are going to be sending out all of our mission literature. I believe all of you will receive it, but if we for some reason missed you, send us a note and we will immediately send you a packet.
Please pray as we begin to call churches in the next few weeks, that the Lord would allow us to schedule some meetings within this year. Heather and I are still planning on going to South Africa this spring for a survey trip. That is also a big prayer request. Many things have to fall into place for that to happen, but we serve a God who specializes in what we think is impossible.
Recently our youth group has started a study through the bible, and we began discussing the eternality of God. Proverbs 90:1-2 says "from everlasting to everlasting, You are God" it is so encouraging to know that we serve a God who is not only alive He has always been and he is in control over everything.
