On the 12th Day before....

"WOW" and here we are only 12 days from departure to Papua New Guinea.  It is amazing the mixed emotions our family is going through.  For the girls its the leaving of friends again, the leaving of the first boy crush,  leaving a month before getting the driving "learners" permit.  For Nikki and I its the realization of this is saying goodbye to parents and friends.  Then we read and see pictures from the Bena Bena people and the excitement sets in again.  We go day to day and I will be honest emotions go up and down.  It's a good thing we are so busy getting everything in order we don't have a whole lot of time to think about things.  

Our monthly support has raised a little the past few weeks.  I believe we are right around 85 to 86% and that we are thankful for.  It has been amazing to see God at work.  We feel so blessed to have our home church Mitchell Berean so involved in this ministry.  Amazing to see God work in the hearts and lives of over 70 people to fund this ministry.  God you are truly AWESOME!

Prayer request:
Our girls are our focus over the next few weeks.  We have to trust God and allow some growing pains in order to see our and their faith grow.  Pray for them to be willing to turn to God and see God at work.  Pray for Nikki and I to give over and trust what God is doing.
Nikki and I would ask that you would join us in prayer asking God to complete what support is needed for full funding.(14% or $994)  Also for our focus to be on Him and not ourselves.  We have already experienced attacks from the enemy and know we need to stay close to God, and each other.

Praise God!
Praise God for allowing us all to be a part of His family and His work.  We are so blessed to be able to  go to PNG to work with the Bena folks.
