Prayer Letter April 2013


   Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
                                                                                                                                                           Philippians 3:13-14

           Life is a balance of holding on and letting go....
                        …….we’ve been doing a lot of letting go, and finding it to be freeing for the most part.

Philippians 1:4-6

In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to
completion until the day of Christ Jesus.



WE HAVE TICKETS!!! 

Because we have to pick up our Visas no later than May 30th and the best prices on tickets was on May 20th, we purchased our tickets for the 20th.  Praise God with us!

Parting with Earthly Treasures

Leaving for the mission field has meant parting with many of our “earthly treasures”.   With the quick sale of our house we also were able to sell most of furniture on craigslist and almost all of the other items in a garage sale.  There was a twinge of sadness as some of the more sentimental items were sold, but the memories created with those items remain. Throughout this process we have felt an abundance of support from wonderful friends.  Praise God with us!

What We are Taking

Below represents what we are taking with us to Vienna.  We tried to limit it to things that are practical, hard to find in Vienna or will remind us of home.

Sent out by our Church!

We were thrilled to be prayed over and sent out by our much loved pastor Tommy.  This was a moment we’ve waited for that was finally realized.  In the next few weeks, we must make trips to say goodbye for now to dear family members. We also still need $500 in monthly support commitments before we leave. Please pray for us to press on and to finish our time here well.  Pray that we would have great times with family and friends and be fully prepared in every way when we leave on May 20th.
