We are counting down the days!! Now the waiting game. We will accept any amount. God has called me to reach the One. It was spoken over me and I am hanging onto that. Costa Rica for language school, then to Paraguay for our missions!
Friends and family, I would love for this to be shared.

Yesterday marked the closing of a chapter of our lives in Lincolnton. The picture here represents pieces of 21+ years of marriage, raising five children, and serving in many ministries. It was not easy to sort through so many memories and decide what we could take with us—it has been an emotional process for our whole family.

In the weeks leading up to this moment, Zechariah often asked, “Why do we have to go to Paraguay?” I would gently tell him, “We believe this is where God is leading our family.” In his childlike honesty, he asked, “Why didn’t God tell me?” That opened the door for sweet conversations about learning to be still and listen for God’s voice. We’ve also reminded him that God has a purpose for his life too, even now.

At this point, we find ourselves in a season of waiting. Unsure if we will begin language school in May or September. We would be so grateful for your prayers during this time. These past two years of raising support and building a team of prayer partners have stretched our faith in many ways.

If you feel led, would you take a quiet moment to ask the Lord how He might have you be involved? We are still trusting God to provide about $1,000 in monthly support. With May 6th approaching quickly, we are hopeful to be able to arrive in Costa Rica for language school.

If the Lord places it on your heart, we would be thankful for your consideration in joining our monthly support team—whether that is $10 a month or whatever He leads you to give.

To those who are already supporting and praying for us, thank you. Your generosity and faithfulness have encouraged us more than we can fully express. We are truly grateful.
