It is not always easy to listen to wise counsel, especially when we don't see it the same way at first. Thankfully, after we take it to the Lord we see the wisdom in what was said and decided. A few weeks ago we met with the elders of our church, as well as a few of the men on the missions committee. To our disappointment we all came to the conclusion that heading to MTC in January still seems like a closed door. We have the support of our home church, and they are eager to see us get there, and then get to the mission field. We do not feel it is necessary to know where all of our financial support will come from while we are in training, but there is also an aspect of being responsible. At this time we do not have the financial support behind us that would be necessary to support our family as we finish our training with the mission. So, we are going to spend our time from now until August sharing our vision with people and churches in our area in hopes to find people passionate about the lost enough to do something about it. We want to dedicate our lives to the people in the world (there are still approx. 2500 people groups) who do not have the Bible in their language, and have never even heard of Jesus Christ...the one and only Savior of the world! We are willing to go, and even though we don't know how God is going to get us there, He does, and that's all that matters.
Please be in prayer for us. It's hard not to get discouraged when our plans don't come to fruition, but we always go back to the fact that God's plans are far greater than what we can imagine.
Because He said "Go!".
