March Update

Can't believe March is almost over! We are less then 10 weeks away from our departure date. Planning and preperations will be kicking into high gear now.
God is continuing to amaze us with the generosity of people and amazing unexpected provision of the funds we need to make this mission possible. Our need is $17,000 and we are at about $12,000- more than 2/3rds of the way there!
We are continuing to pray for someone who might need a house for a couple months this summer. We are also looking for a topper for the truck.
On the Alaska end they are in need of a structural engineer to certify that the existing structure is safe to use as a church building. They received a very high costing bid from someone to do this so the prayer is that they would be able to find someone to do it at a reasonable cost.

February Update

God continues to amaze us with the generosity of His people. Our current amount raised is $7645! We are starting to plan our route of travel- driving to Alaska is estimated at 58-68 hours. With three busy boys that should be real interesting. At least Nathan's brother Abe is planning to come up and drive back with him so I can fly home with the boys.
Several family members are planning to come up and help/visit. If anyone else is interested in coming up let us know!

More Miracles!

God is providing quickly and we are on our way in preparing for Alaska. We have over $7000 raised for our mission already!!!! Praise God for providing more abundantly than we could ask or think. Nathan and I are amazed at how quickly God is preparing the way.
Caleb has the oppurtunity in school to study Alaska as his state of choice. It will be so much fun to learn about this great state before we go. Keep praying for someone to stay in our house and we also need a topper and step bars for our truck.

God the Provider!

Thanks to 2 generous givers we have $1700 towards our Mission! Praise GOd! He is confirming our call to Alaska this summer in so many ways. We will be presenting our Mission to Rejoice! church this Sunday during worship. The envelopes are being printed and stuffed with our Support letter -finally. Pray for a renter for our house this summer June to mid August.

Alaska Planning Progress

Nathan spoke with the pastor up in Alaska his weekend and everything is starting to line up for our mission this summer! There is 2 work crews already being scheduled to help with the building. It looks like we will need to be there by June 19th at the latest. We are planning to leave the last day of school which is June 4th which should give us plenty of time to do a little sightseeing and get settled in before the first work crew arrives.
The Church in Moose Pass will be providing our housing- pray that everything would fall in to place for that. The congregation also has $7000 of the $30,000 they need for materials. Pray that God will continue to provide while revealing Himself and strenghthening their faith!
Our Support letters are back from the printer and are waiting to be addressed and sent out.

We are putting the finishing touches on our Alaska Support letter. Look for it in your mailbox soon.

HAPPY 2010 Everyone! What an exciting new year for us. Join us as we journey towards a mission project in Moose PAss Alaska, hope to begin our adotion process and other adventures God will put in our path. Not to mention the task of raising three busy boys. Blessings from our family to yours in this new year!
