Answered Prayers

My wife and I have been praying that God would help us get our last credit card paid down so that we could apply for Wycliffe Bible Translators as career missionaries.  We need $1000.00 to pay on the credit card so that we can apply with them.  I can't really go into details but today we received a phone call and we were promised $1000.00 by May 1st.  It will come with a commitment on our part but we agreed and will be able to pay the card down the first part of May and begin the application process with Wycliffe.  We are still looking at Africa Inland Mission very closely (maybe more closely than Wycliffe at this point) and are planning to apply with them as well.  Many other options are still on the table but we are pursuing each one until God closes the door on them.  Please continue to pray that we put God's desire for us above any desire that we have for ourselves.  If you are reading this and would like to hear more about our ministry in Ghana and Togo last year I will be speaking at Calvary Baptist Church on April 3rd (this Sunday) at 6:00 p.m.  I will give a recap of our trip and give more detail about what God is doing in our lives currently.  Hope to see you there.

Welcome to our blog.

This blog is an attempt to chronicle the things that God is doing for us and through us both here at home and while we are in Africa. We will be updating this blog weekly while we are home, Africa will be a different story. Due to unreliable electric and Internet we are not sure how often we will be able to but we plan to update daily if we are able.
