Oh Me of Such Little Faith

If you haven't heard yet we are missionaries with Mission to the World, and therefore we are called to raise our own support in order to do this work that the Lord has called us to. We continually talk about, on our team, how we should not just see this support raising period as another waiting zone, but rather as a strategic time in our ministry. I am sure you can imagine that it doesn't always feel that way, and sometimes (a lot of times) we feel very discouraged. Well God has done a lot lately to remind us that this is his calling for us and that he will bless our efforts. He truly is faithful to us!

-A dear family member told us that she wanted to support us, but didn't have the money so she prayed that God would provide it. A few months later she received a raise and was able to begin to support us at $50 dollars a month.

-Our ministry is complicated to explain because it is outside the box of traditional missions work. Some friends here in Annapolis invited us over for dinner and we spent the next several hours laughing and sharing a meal together. As we explained our ministry their excitement was so evident and they even had new ideas for us and tangiable ways they could partner with us. They have committed to pray to see how the Lord will lead them to support us.

-While we were at Covenant we met a new friend and received the most uplifting and encouraging email from him letting us know how much he respected what we are doing and will be praying for us.

-Meeting with the missions committee at our church the man who prayed for us was brought to tears because of how much he longs to see us be fully funded and his own passion for reaching the next generation. Needless to say, this made us feel very loved.

-Then just today as I looked at our support account online my attitude was not very positive because it's not growing as quickly as we would like, but as I looked at another page I found 2 large one time gifts from dear friends and was almost brought to tears at God's provision.

We are so incredibly humbled by all of you who support us through financial gifts and prayers. The generosity of so many is truly humbling and reminds us of the importance of being a blessing to others.

Please continue to pray for us as we raise our support and look to the future of our ministry of reaching the nations and the next generation!
