We are having to get back to reality now. Our home repairs have come, front and center. We have been focused this week in preparing our home in order to get it on the market. We are doing all we can with what we have, but our resources dictate the pace. God has been awesome though! We are working till we are exhausted everyday, it seems. I am writing this blog with my eyes barely open. :-)
Please pray that God will grant us wisdom along the way. We desire so much to make wise decisions. Please pray with us that God will continue to provide the necessary funds for our support as well as for these additional necessary improvements in order to get our house on the market as soon as possible.

As we have come home from our time in Indiana, the passion and ambition has only grown stronger and stronger!!! We have seen now as a family what God is doing and could do through this international student ministry. I am not touting on my abilities, but God's timing! God is assembling a team of men who have a passion for the students at Purdue (both American and international) as well as the faculty and staff of this elite university. The men (myself included) have a passion to see Christ proclaimed and the souls of many reached that those reached could impact the entire world just from a small town in Indiana! The awesome thing is the opportunity to bring others along side us in the journey.
God can do mighty things and is doing them! Our prayer is for His will to be done on earth as it is in heaven. We are praying that God will release us to begin. Our support level must continue to increase as well as we need to sell our home. Please pray with us that God's will will be done and that all that He is going to do be done in such a way that only He can receive the praise! AMEN We have traveled to Indiana to speak with pastors, churches, ministry leaders, and university staff of Purdue! God has been awesome in the contacts and relationships that are in formation right now! We have been meeting countless staff and faculty already from Purdue and they have been so encouraging and supportive of what God is calling us to do here! We still have more to talk with, but if this is any indicator of what's to come? I can't wait!
We have also been so overwhelmed with the hospitality of those whom we have met already. Plus we are waiting to see what God has in store, but there were people there at church this morning who were either first-time visitors to the church with international student connections or others who had come a long way to church that came up to talk with us. We don't know what all this holds, but we are just so encouraged right now! We still covet your prayers tremendously! We are still begging God to lay on the hearts of the people here to help get us here with our support! We will keep you posted! Well, the time to "get busy" on getting our house ready to sell is underway. We have been working on some things, but now as of this afternoon and tomorrow, we are giving it some serious concentration. God has been providing in such miraculous ways so that we have not had to go into debt in order to make these upgrades! Our home church has scheduled a men's workday to do some work around the house. We are grateful for their support and help!
Please pray that God will give us wisdom on how to best utilize the resources that He has given us and to send along the buyer that He has deemed to come. Also, please pray that God will show us how to manage our time and resources between travels, meetings, homeschooling, and house preparation. We sincerely and strongly desire to wise! We have mixed emotions about this time in our lives. We know that God has prepared the way for us, but the thought of this preparation to leave is hard emotionally. |
