Big answer to prayer

It is hard to believe that on January 1st of this year, we marked our calendar for June 30th and asked God that we would reach 100% by that day. Today, on June 28th we are at 97%. It seems reasonable to hope that we will reach 100% very soon, if not exactly on June 30th, it will probably only be a few days after. We are so thankful to God for answering our many prayers and for confirming that He is able to provide and that He desires for us to go and start new communities of believers in France.

Thank you to all those who have recently joined our team or have increased their giving, and thank you to everyone who has been on our team for a while! Your faithfulness has been a great encouragement to us.

90% and still climbing

This week marked a bit of a milestone in our journey of getting to France, which is that we reached 90%. In fact, we are praising God because we are at 93%! Thank you so much for everyone who has been giving, praying for and encouraging us, it has been truly amazing! Seven days ago we were at 88% and we are floored that the Lord has provided 5% in one week (this matches a record only hit once before). Please keep praying, specifically that we would break this record and reach 100% by the end of June, one more week to go.
