When and How?


Many people have asked us when we are going to Lake Placid, so I wanted to give you some more details. God has been speaking to us about this for a while, but to keep from making this too long I will start with this summer (if you want to know more, email me and I will make a short story long). In June we finally realized that God was calling us to LP and we began the process. Jeff talked to 2 search teams and then at the beginning of September our whole family went up there and the church voted to call Jeff as the associate pastor for 20/30's. In the meantime, we were going through the process of becoming Mission Corps Volunteers through the North American Mission Board. Let me answer the question "How?" first: as Mission Corps Volunteers, we must raise %100 of our living expenses. At this point Jeff is beginning to talk to people about partnering with God in His work in LP. That also answers the question of "When?". We will go when we have raised enough money for 1 year and have sold our house. The reason that I wanted to let you know this is because I wanted to give you more details for our prayer requests. Please pray for:
1)many people to partner with us in prayer (our most important need).
2)God to lead us to people who will partner with Him financially.
3)the sale of our house.
4)vision for Jeff for the ministry as we prepare to go.
5)us to be able to stay focused on our present ministry.

Thank you so much for your prayers!
