God's Faithfulness - 50% Fundraising today!!

It's been such a long time since we've written down our thoughts and as I'm sure you experience yourself -time flies swiftly by. These past couple months have almost been a blur - from writing our prayer letter and the little booklet, mailing them out, sharing our story with our church and other groups. I remember when we were given the go-ahead with AIM back in early March - the personnel director said to us:

'..Andrew and Sue, this isn't much time to raise the funds you will need to go to Kenya three months from now..it is humanly impossible. Normally missionaries need at least one year to raise the kind of support that you guys need to raise. If God wants you to go to Kenya in July, He'll open the doors and provide in miraculous ways, it'll be Him that makes this happen.'

When we heard that, we had mixed feelings..that overwhelming feeling of lack of control over the outcome and wondering in our minds..is this what God really wants..will this come together? I have to admit it's been nervewracking wondering if we will have the financial support we need to go and yet we so clearly have felt God's hand leading us forward and clearly having us trust in Him.

Anyways, today, April 15th was our target date for raising 50% of our monthly requirements and outgoing costs. 3 days ago we were still sitting at 39 % of our monthly support raised and we were wondering, how is this going to happen..and then God intervened once again in miraculous and unexpected ways - we are now at 50% of the monthly funds we need and over 50% of our outgoing funds!

We are so humbled and thankful by the incredible generosity and sacrifice of so many people who are excited about our journey and desire to partner with us through prayer and financial support..thankyou, thankyou, thankyou.
