It's OFFICIAL!

We have been given the GREEN LIGHT to leave in December for language school in Costa Rica!

We could not be more excited to have a departure date.  It feels SO real now!

We have not yet reached 100% of our monthly need but we have received enough in one time gifts, monthly pledges, & love offerings to have enough for our year at language school.

We will continue building our ministry team & raising support here in the States between now & when we leave in December.  We will then be raising support from Costa Rica while we attend language school for a year.  If we have not met 100% of our monthly goal by the end of language school, we will return home to continue building our ministry team.

We have currently met 46% of our monthly need for the ministry in Honduras!

The Lord added FOUR people to our ministry team this weekend!  Four more people that have made a monthly investment into our family ... trusting God to do mighty things in & through us.  We are SO blessed & thankful!

It is so encouraging to our family to now have a ministry team of over 25 people & 3 church families that we can count on as we step out in faith.  It is such a blessing to know that we have a team of prayer warriors in our corner to encourage us along the way!

Many people have said that they can "only" do a small monthly amount & seem to think that it won't make a difference.  We truly mean it when we say that ANY amount of a monthly donation will help us to be one step closer to full time service on the mission field!

If you have not yet partnered with us, we ask that you would pray & see how The Lord would lead you to get involved in God's ministry in Honduras.  

It may seem like a small thing in your eyes but we assure you that each gift we receive is HUGE for us.  We know that each response of obedience is an even BIGGER deal to God!

So what is our next step?

Now that we have a date, we are officially starting the process of packing & preparing!  We have to work out the specifics on shipping our belongings, housing, paperwork for YFC & school, and SO much more!

Please pray for us as we soak up the next few months that we have left in the States with our family!  We are so excited to see our journey finally beginning but our hearts are also torn to have to say so many "see ya laters".  Also, pray for our sweet girl to enjoy these last few weeks living with Nana & Papaw & for the Lord to prepare her little heart for this big change.

THANK YOU for ALL of your prayers & encouragement!  Can't wait to see God come through in HUGE ways between now & when we leave ... more to come soon! :)
