75 percent of the way

This is a brief excerpt of our March newsletter. If you don't receive it and would like to, it's easy, just sign-up using the form on the right sidebar...

Right now we stand at approximately 75% of our goal! We’re getting so close! Day after day we’re shown the amazing provision of our God, and God isn’t stingy. He’s lavish in the ways he provides. We often forget that fact, but we’re reminded over and over again. God has provided through individuals, through churches, through friends, and through strangers. Each and every time, we marvel at his timing and overall goodness, and each and every time, we are reminded that our God “will meet all our needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus” (Phil 4:19).

End of February Retreat

Last week we spent two nights at a cabin in Hocking Hills to reflect and thank God for all He has done the past couple months in the support raising process, and to recharge and get ready for the next few months. We were aiming to get to 70% by the end of February, and we were 1 week behind but we just hit 70% today! Even while we were relaxing for a couple days, God was still faithfully providing. He is such an awesome God. Here are a few of the highlights in pictures.

We had a nice fire going most of the time
We did a lot of reading
No really, a lot of reading
We had a late night visitor who was pretty cute actually
We took a lovely hike
...and saw awesome frozen waterfalls
It was a great getaway and now we are recharged and ready to go! Our next big goal is to reach 90% by the end of April.
