FBC Missions

It is exactly 20 days until I leave to begin my journeys. For Ashley it is only 10 days… And God has been so faithful. I have been impacted greatly by the fact that over 100 individuals are going behind us on this trip. All of you — more than 100 men, women and children will be our companions, our supporters, our prayer warriors and our hearts as we begin the journey of a lifetime. How blessed I am to be the “face” of the operation!

In the past months God has provided over-and-beyond our needed funds, He has provided $2,000 just for construction and $600 for medical supplies. He has provided numerous craft supplies for the children. He has provided cameras for both Ashley and I. He has given us friends and family to be praying for all of the big and little requests we have. He has provided money for immunizations, clothing and travel necessities before we go. Just today, He worked with the embassy to allow us to get our Visas! And, He has encouraged us countless times along the way. What a God we serve!

As we finish up our final preparation please keep the following in your prayers:

1. Purchasing all of the last-minute items
2. Travels

3. Safety

4. Health

5. Preparation of those we will be serving

6. HIV/AIDS children we will be ministering to

7. Short term teams we will be leading

8. Relationship with our hosts: Jim and Corinne Thorp

9. Language learning!

10. Culture adjustment

11. For our families to trust in the Lord and have peace about God’s protection while we are away.
