Mayday!
Is it really May already? Time is sure flying by for us. We have been done with school for almost 5 months now and are full swing into our support raising.
We have been very blessed being back at our sending church and being involved with bible studies, a growth group, Annette teaching Sunday school and Brion helping out on the worship team. We are surrounded by such a great community of believers and have been very encouraged being back.
We are overjoyed to see God adding new partners to our team, but realize that our resources are dwindling faster than we had anticipated. We are now trying to expand our network in more creative ways. We had an amazing opportunity to speak at a church in Elgin, IL. and it was such a blessing and encouragement to us. It is so wonderful to see the Body of Christ worship and serve in different ways.
Thankful
We have raised an additional 20% of our support since we have been home from Canada which puts at roughly 40% of our needed monthly support. New Tribes Mission requires us to be at 75% of our support before we can buy plane tickets and start heading to Colombia. We are excited to see how God is providing and feel so honored that we can be apart of His ministry of reaching the lost.
On the family side of things, we just celebrated Eli’s first birthday. What a joyful year it has been! We are blessed beyond words having him as a part of our little family. And soon enough we will be a family of four. The end of June is quickly approaching and we are trying to prepare and make room for another little boy in the house!
Prayer and Praises:
- We have had lots of doctor and midwife visits over the past 2 months, but we are encouraged to see the Lord providing and finding out some much needed answers about some health issues.
- Our bible studies are all wrapping up for the summer and we have both been blessed to study God’s word with great groups of believers.
- Pray for continued health for Baby Jonah (baby Kendo #2).
- Pray that God would continue to expand our team of support partners.
