We just had our very first official newsletter sent out last week. If you did not receive one we would be happy to send one via e-mail. If you would like to sign up for that please let us know by sending us an e-mail at pwforester@juno.com in the subject line please put "newsletter updates".
A little news on the home front, we received the last of the passports today! Everyone has one now! We wanted to make sure we got the kids before it turned into a longer process of passports due to all the new laws about traveling.
We are still learning so much about God's provisions, and are so overwhelmed and left speechless so often. Phil has been unemployed for over a month now and his unemployment checks still have not started, BUT we have plenty of food!! I shared with a friend last week, it is like the loaves and the fish, our pantry and refrigerator just keep staying filled! and it is ALL God!
Thanks for checking the blog even though we are not that faithful in updating it as often as we would like to be!
Thank you for your prayer as we continue to seek to do God's will!
Finally our Newsletter!
God's Provisions
We are at the beginning of April, where is the time going? So many things have happened over the past month. The biggest change in the Wilson home is that Phil was laid-off on Wednesday (March 25). We are not worried, lots of other people are doing that for us. We were actually excited! Phil has taken deputation on as his full time job and God is taking care of our daily needs! What could be better? God knows what we need better than we know.
The amazingly beautiful and destructive ice storm that we had here in December has brought in some work for Phil. God has brought some wonderful people into our lives that are walking this Faith Walk with us, and praying along with us as we are living each day and working on getting to Guatemala.
Our support is coming in even with new partners this past week. What a blessing each and every one is! God knows exactly what we need when we need it, and is control of all things!
Funny how even the smallest things He is in control over, I received a letter from my friend who has moved to Asia. It arrived on a day that I was longing to talk to her about things. Funny...she mailed it a week earlier from the states. Abby's birthday card was sent the same day from the same place and she received it the normal 2 days later! God is even in control of the post office! :)
Please keep praying along with us that our support will come in, in God's time not our time!
Please pray that we are able to share effectively when we speak at church's what God has laid on our hearts to do.
Please pray for our neighborhood Bible Study, it is such a joy and a blessing to us watching these new creatures in Christ devour God's Word!
Please pray for our co-laborers in Guatemala, safety for their families since the violence has recently escalated.
our friends are moving!
Are you wondering who is moving? We made some wonderful friends while we were at CIT, as we have mentioned before. We were all at different levels of support. Some of us are in the low end of support and others were at the almost there 95%. Since then we have had friends leave for pretty much every area of the world. God is working in amazing ways around the globe.
We have shared in the joys of getting a call or e-mail that our friends have made it to 100% in their support. The way God has brought in the money for them is always amazing and in wonderful and different ways! God is SO GOOD! Everyone of our friends who are on the field have such amazing and different stories of how God has used people to get them there. The latest one to Asia is just another one of those "Only God" stories! She was getting much too close to the point of when she needed to leave to start language school. She had a meeting with a family on Thursday, who has an adopted from Asia, point blank they asked her what she needed to get on the field and she told them $450 more a month. Later that day they called her and said they were committing to support her for $450 a month for two years. GOD IS SO GOOD!! This was her final confirmation after almost 10 years of responding to Gods call to Asia!
Please lift up our friends with us as they are all embarking on their new lives, new lands, new homes, new ministries in the different countries that God has called them to. There are so many different ministries that they will all be working with,all for the same purpose. To share the gospel with others and Lord willing have an opportunity to see them come to Christ! I would love to share names with you so you could pray for them by name. Many are in unsecured countries so I am not able to share names with you on here so please contact me and I will share with you! God knows who they are when you lift them up!
God is GOOD all the time; All the time God is GOOD!
