We are so Excited!!!

Thank you all for your incredible prayers and support in getting us to this point.  It has been amazing and exciting to see how God has provided and moved this past week.  We Praise God for all of you and what you have done in response to His call.  Please keep us in your prayers as we wrap up the last of these financial requirements and say good bye to our Washington family. 
 
What happens if we go over the 100% target amount for monthly support?  No, we don’t get a bigger salary and no it doesn’t go to someone else.  For now it will help to fulfill the Outgoing requirement.  Once on the field in Kenya, any additional monthly support will go to our work account for us to use on the field for ministry expenses.  This is huge in allowing us to minister more effectively where God leads us.  We look forward to sharing these stories with you!
 
Prayer Request:
We still have a ways to go on our one-time Outgoing fund (currently 65% leaving $19,909 to raise). Please join us in prayer for that. We would like to be 100% by June 22nd (end of Orientation) so we can concentrate on what is ahead of us knowing that the finances are taken care of.
 
Please continue to pray for the formation of our prayer and financial teams.  If God has laid on your heart to be a part of what He is doing in Africa through us, please email us with your interest.  Or simply click the Support Info link above and to the right.

Lifesong

A song that has been meaningful to us during this journey is “Lifesong” by Casting Crowns.  We quoted part of it in a newsletter recently and so here are the rest of the lyrics.

“Lifesong”
Casting Crowns

Empty hands held high
Such small sacrifice
If not joined with my life
I sing in vain tonightMay the words I say
And the things I do
Make my lifesong sing
Bring a smile to You

Let my lifesong sing to You
Let my lifesong sing to You
I want to sign Your name to the end of this day
Knowing that my heart was true
Let my lifesong sing to You

Lord I give my life
A living sacrifice
To reach a world in need
To be Your hands and feet

So may the words I say
And the things I do
Make my lifesong sing
Bring a smile to You

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Let my lifesong sing to You
