We have been in an "asking of the Lord" season here lately. We are dealing with some financial issues and were busy asking the Lord how He wanted us to handle them. Meng Juan and I just finished an amazing book about George Mueller. George was a man who needed lots of money to take care of lots of orphans in Bristol, England. He felt the Lord telling him to NOT ask any person for any of his needs, but to go directly to Jesus for every need he had. What wild, crazy miracles George and the orphans experienced! Then there's Frank, Franklin Graham, another Godly man who needs lots of money to do great things for the Lord in Samaritan's Purse. Franklin sends out letters letting people know his needs and trusts the Lord to speak to the ones who can and will give. Hence, our dilemma. Who are we supposed to be like in this need of ours, Lord? George or Frank?
Just this morning we feel like God gave us the second of our confirmations in the form of a note of exhortation from a friend. We took all of that back to the Lord and this morning during out quiet times both Jay and I sensed the Lord's heart in letting us be "Franks" and bringing our need to you, our friends and family, our team.
We are so thankful for those of you who have come on board this ride with us as part of our team. I think of Luke and football and know that there are many different positions on a team that need to work together for the touchdowns to be scored. There are quarterbacks, running backs, kickers, cheerleaders, and lots of others. (A shout out to all of my ex-cheerleader sisters! I'm typing this while doing the splits, by the way....not really.) We couldn't do what we've done without you. You are such blessings!
As we've been moving toward Papua New Guinea (PNG), our leaders have been doing their best to get our tickets priced and purchased. It has been a challenge, but finally we have our tickets and we're set to leave June 23. The only little glitch in the system is the price of tickets. Our budget and the price do not match. Airfare is crazy! So, team, this is where you come in! We are needing $6500 by June 1st to pay for our whole outreach. Here's what we're asking: Prayers, Pray! Givers, Give! Watchers, Watch and see what the Lord does! He is an amazing miracle working God!
We know God has us here and wants us to finish the race he has set before us. We're not sure how that will happen, but we wanted to be obedient and let you know our need and let the Lord take it from there. Faith is a-risin'! :) If sowing into this is what you hear the Lord saying to you, send your check to Rally Point Ministries at PO Box 320 Chewelah, WA 99109
