Only 49 days until we will be on a plane headed to Africa! We are so excited about where God is leading us! The main purpose of this blog is to stay connected with our friends and family for the 3 months we will be in Zambia, Africa. We will be posting pictures and updates of the mission training and village ministry. Please keep us in your prayers as we prepare for this amazing mission. Finacially, we are getting very close to our fundraising goal. We have about $2000 left to raise. Our deadline for funds is August 1st.
Tim and I will be very busy up until the time we leave for Zambia. As many of you know, Tim and I also lead a ministry called Hydrate. Hydrate is a ministry for high school campuses. The week before we leave for Africa, we will be in Moody High School for a Hydrate event. This event has two parts. The first is a high school assembly where we promote positive choices such as abstinance and anti-drugs and alcohol. The second is a night event which is free to the students and community. During this time we will be sharing the Gospel. Please keep this event and our team in your prayers. We are expecting many students to recieve Christ at this event.
We are so thankful for our many friends and family members who have been so supportive and encouraging to us during the last several months. Deciding to leave our home and jobs for three months has been a huge decision for us. However we know that when Jesus called the twelve, they laid down their nets and follwed Him without question or hesitation. Tim and I were reading a Bible study last night that said we as Christians have chosen 'sense knowledge' over the Word of God. Many times when God calls us to do something for Him it does not make sense when looking through our human eyes.
However, by faith we say
"At your Word Lord, we will go where you lead us. We will abandon it all, for the sake of the call."
