We have had many people ask us in the past few months where we are at with our support? We are at a solid 60% with more coming in daily! We are so thankful for all of you who are supporting us financially. We know it is a tough economic time right now. We know that many of you are making sacrifices for our family to be on the field. We are ever so grateful for that! How exciting it is to see our ministry team grow in ways that we would never imagine. God is providing wonderful people to partner with us, and we are very serious when we say to you that you are just as much part of our team here as you will be when we are there. We couldn't do it without our supporters.
Please keep praying with us as we continue to seek God's will, and work on getting our family to Guatemala. We are so excited to share with you things that God has been teaching us and revealing to us in ways that we would never have expected. That is what He does though isn't it!! Just ask us we love to talk about it!
A few speaking engagements that we have on the calendar right now are:

Where are we?
Challenge!
Are you up for it?
Here it goes!
Have you been on a Missions Trip? Short term or long term, in country or out of the country? Have you thought about a Missions Trip? Have you had the thought that you would love to someday go on one but now isn't the time? Did you know how many different types of Mission Trips you could go on? You could go to your local nursing home and pray with the patients. They love having visitors! You could go into schools and work with Good News Clubs. You can't get much more local than that! You could plan a VBS in an area that is in need of someone coming in and sharing with the children. Near or far! You can go out of the country and do something. You can build a school, you can paint a school, you can have a VBS, you can pass out Bundles of Love, you can serve in a church somewhere.
Are you seeing what the challenge is here? Get out of your comfort zone listen to what God is saying to you, see what He wants you to do. I am not saying pack your bags, sell your belongings and move to the most remote jungle you can find. Well, unless that is what God is calling you to do! It just may be the biggest challenge of your life and I would dare to say that it would be the most rewarding thing you do as well!
Think about it...
Haiti
The earthquake in Haiti has been devastating. It has touched lives of people all over the world. We can never know what they are experiencing but we can pray. We are all consumed with knowing what is going on minute by minute. We are sitting watching the news continuously, rejoicing when someone is rescued and mourning when they find another person who has lost their life. The news reports are mostly showing the devastation in Port-au-Prince, not in the whole country. Where there are orphanages that are gone, missions that are destroyed people who will forever be changed because of this day January 12, 2010.
AMG has a project in the northern part Haiti and the reports are coming in. Here is the "link" to get information about AMG and what you can do to help aid this country.
Please continue to pray for the Hatians and for the workers that are being sent there to help in any capacity, whether it is digging, handing out food, handing out medicines, sitting with people who are in utter confusion, praying with the dying and so much more. These are all real things that are happening and these people need our prayer.
