Time is Flying... and We will too

It is amazing to think that we are supposed to be boarding a plane in just 12 days.    I think we may start writing our own song.... "the 12 days of packing".   We are doing the final purchases for things to take back.  We must make our  calculations to make sure that our stock of chocolate chips is going to be enough to last for all the cookies we want to make for students at RVA.  Meanwhile, we look for the heavy stuff to pack with the light, the bulky to pack with the small and so forth.  All the while submitting our packing efforts to the scrutiny of the almighty scale.     

Several  folks have asked for an update on our financial support so we'll post it here.   We are still seeking to raise support in order to receive approval from our mission.   We need to raise around $400 a month to be fully supported.   We are grateful for the way that God has brought several new partners onto our team.   We are always amazed at how He and He alone provides.  

We got an email from a family that has been partnering with us for a long time.  I think their words clearly tell how they truly understand the concept of being a partner in ministry to Africa.   They wrote: We are definitely praying and have also been keeping our eyes on the situation in Kenya.    I just saw your blog update and I liked how you put it that you are sure that if it's God's will for you to be back in Kenya, He'll provide for it.  God's provision really is quite astounding - over and over again.  We feel so glad to be a part of the work that you guys are doing, and then to have a small part in what all the missionaries there in Africa are doing.  It's fun to be in God's picture, so to speak.  What a blessing to have the prayers and the partnership.  If you are interested in partnering with us, please click on the support link in the side bar or send us an email.  

While reflecting on Easter, the greatest day in history, it serves as a catapult for us to head back to our part of the mission field.  Though we may not feel completely ready, nor do we have full support yet,  we know the fields are "white for harvest".   We are partners in "gathering fruit for life eternal"  because eternity matters.   More posts coming soon.   On the 12th day of packing, my true love said to me..."gather all the cloths and shoes"  Check out a few new photos in family fun.
