Dear Pastor and Church Family,
Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, today is a great spring day which makes you glad you're alive...it also means you have to get jobs done around the house as a result of the long winter. We are trying to get our house ready to rent while we are on the field. Years ago we were able to buy a small ranch home for about nine thousand dollars. It wasn't something you could live in until we did a make over. It was a one bedroom NO bath house...now it is a 4 bedroom, two full bath house...we sub-contracted and did all that work while on deputation the first time. When we finished it we moved to Australia...so the renters enjoy our finished work. Because we rent it out when we go back to the field, it means extra maintenance when we return. So we are in that process right now...but I'm sure you know what that all in tales...Painting, shingles, gutters so on and so on making sure you (meaning me) get as much done as possible to eliminate extra expenses by hiring someone to do the job while you're away.
Well...we are at 68% and have a pretty good schedule a head of us. I sure hope the churches that have promised support can come through before the end of the year. We also have to raise enough to equip us to do the work in Australia once we get there...like 3 months rent in advance, a car, travel expenses, shipping and so forth. So...if that wasn't a hint, I don't know what to call it.
Just recently, we have had the privilege of sharing our ministry in two churches in Kentucky and both has taken us on. Now, we are going back to two more this week...it would be great to continue that pattern. I know I don't have to remind you of the situation our country is in, and yet God's people are stepping out by faith and trusting Him to provide by partnering with us missionaries around the world. Thank you for showing your faith in our all sufficient God.
Serving Christ Together,
