So far we are still making plans to leave the United States for Nigeria on August 16. Praise the Lord!!! We are currently at 70% of our needed recurring monthly support.
We are very excited because God has provided a home for us in Jos, newly built, which we will have to put the finishing touches on (like running water and electricity... small details...) but it comes with enough room for our family and office, and is in a good location for ministry. Best of all, we will live there rent-free for the first term, which will allow our ministry funds to go a lot farther. Thank you, Lord!!
We still have to:
Get physicals, shots, and malaria prescriptions
Visit the Dentist
Get our papers in order
Get Visas
Pack
Decide what to store and what to part with
Say our "See-You-Laters"
Please pray for us as we work through this in the next few weeks!!
We are also visiting churches nearly every weekend, but we also have some other special things planned.
The DeVoes and Meredith's family are both having reunions.
Ryan will spend a week at Word of Life Island, and a couple of weeks in Vermont with his good buddy Kelly Keegan.
Sarah will spend a week at Word of Life Ranch.
We will all spend some time in Vermont visiting with old friends (and doing some support-raising as well, of course).
Thanks to all for your continued prayers, and to our God, for making it all possible!!
