Keeping the Faith

Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of things unseen. We're sure that God has called us to ministry and know that He will provide for us to leave for Africa. I have to say that one WONDERFUL thing of having no control in life is that you get to see God work.

Recently, a member of a church I grew up in contacted me about our ministry and asked me to tell what's been going on in my life since he last knew me...in 2nd grade. I took a deep breath and hunkered down to write a long email. I breezed through my elementary, middle and high school years to the moment I knew that God had called me to be a missionary. I went into how God prepared me for ministry and my opportunities that came along. I went through when I knew that BOTH Steve and I were called to do this together and then how we support raised for France and now Africa.
I got done and I was nearly in tears seeing how God has directed EVERYTHING in my life to bring me where I am today (even down to NOT dropping out of school after my freshman year in college to do ministry, which seemed like an honorable thing to do, but then realizing I would have never met Steve). God is in control and as Steve and I reach an "uncertain" stage in our lives (not really knowing what Steve should do in the interim between job and Africa, not really knowing our EXACT date of departure, having to depend on God putting others in our lives to partner with us to do God's work) and we see how God has provided for both of us in the past.
Like in the Old Testament where people would stack stones to commemorate what God had done at that place, I was reminded how God has provided in the past and am confident that God will completely provide for us in our future.
We're excited to see who God puts in our lives to join us in God's ministry in Africa. If you would like to join us, please click on the number to the right to do a one time or monthly donation. Our hope (Lord Willing) is to be at 50% by mid-April.
Thanks so much for all your support.
