Praise God for His continuing grace & mercy to our family! We have been blessed by our “family” at Christ Chapel, and we are excited to be moving to Missouri to serve as temporary staff at the Missionary Training Center! While there, Roland will have the opportunity to: get advanced technology training, as well as, help the Tech Center with their sundry responsibilites. Jinni will continue to homeschool their children, and be able to further connect with the MK Education team. God has provided 2 jobs for RJ, during our last few weeks here in Tennessee, and we are trusting him to provide further opportunities in Missouri.
Our support jumped from 2.5% to over 12% over night, and we have had several large one-time gifts. The most precious was one inspired by students at Grace Christian Academy. They were challenged by a pastor to take “a little” and see what the Lord could do with it. So they took their $32 of seed money to host a bake sale, and God turned it into a $244.88 BIG GIVE gift for us!
Jinni worked as the elementary computer teacher there, for 2 years, and the kids were willing to give their money for a prayer card, instead of a treat. A parent had made 200, and the kids were so excited to find out they got a free one when they bought something from the sale.
Roland has worked faithfully on both vehicles, to make them travel ready, and we anticipate being able to take off on Jan. 11th. Thank you for your prayers & support. Our prayer calendar is more than half full!
Merry Christmas & Happy 2010 from the Shafer Family!
