Cold Feet

No, we are not having second thoughts about moving to Kenya.  On the contrary, in the past week we have had our socks blessed right off, leaving us with chilly toes, as God continues to orchestrate logistics on our behalf!  Our ANSWERED prayers for this week include:

• finding a renter for our house while we are gone;
• finding an orthodontist in Kenya who can take care of Ellie's teeth;
• finding the right home for Bear, our Australian Shepherd;
• finding someone in Kenya to help with work permit applications; and
• being supplied with additional funds through friends and family who have chosen to join us in this journey.

In addition, we've had multiple people offer their professional services to help in unique and special ways including: helping us get our yard and gardens prepared for handing over to our renters; helping us prepare emotionally for the challenges that lie ahead; and taking family photos before we leave. 

We are waiting to hear from YWAM as to whether we've been accepted into their Discipleship Training School.  Lord willing, we will be accepted and will leave for Tanzania the last week of August to begin training on September 6.  We are still trying to find someone who can accompany us for 12 weeks to supervise the children in their homeschooling while Jason and I are in classes during the day.

Thank you to each of you who has committed to praying for us, and has offered support in numerous ways!  We pray that God will bless you abundantly as you serve Him.
