Working Hard!

The past three weeks to be honest we haven't been updating because we have been on our knees praying, and on the phones calling!   God has just blessed us beyond measure and has proven to us that this is WHERE he wants us to be. God has DEFINITELY called us to Perth, Australia.   For the 2nd time in our 9 years of service with Global Partners we have found our financial account to be in "distress!  But, through pray, and God's might hand.  We were given the date of Thanksgiving to have and extra above and beyond our monthly amount of $15,000 in to Global Partners! Our account was so financially hungry there wasn't anything in it!!! It was actually negative... this was Huge. And, SERIOUSLY we have never seen God move in such a strong way in our lives.   But, as we started to call and share our hearts with pastors and our burdens God spoke to people's hearts! And, the willingness of God's people to pull together was amazing! The Australians are just amazed at how God works miracles and will bring the harvest in when we pray and seek him.   The long hours took a toll on us.   Everyone in our house got pink eye, the flu, and a really bad cold. But, God kept us on those phone and he kept softening people's hearts as we spoke to them over the phone. I also wanted to share with you that the Australians have been giving towards Global Partners to help with this financial drama. So, God is moving in their hearts just as strongly! This is very special! This is the first time they have pulled together and wanted to financially responsible to help.    So, with a very bold voice. I would like to announce that God is the king of our lives and the King of Australia and the King of this world and there is NOTHING, nothing.... that is impossible to Him. And, this truth has been shown, proven and lived to the Australian's that live here in Perth, Australia.

We would also like to thank the amazing team of supporters behind us.  It is such a blessing to know that there are people who believe in us and believe in the mission of what God has called us to and are willing to give beyond imagine when called upon.  We want to say “thank you” so much from the bottom of our hearts for your willingness to invest in the great commission. 

God has blessed us in such a way that we want to inform you that we have met our “crazy” goal of $15,000 and we are advancing on the road toward full funding.   There are two steps really left. So, don't stop praying yet!  Continue to pray.. Because  we still need a few thousand to come in so we are not below the red line.  The Red line is the amount we are to have in our account every month. We also  need to get our faith promise up to 100% this is one major reason our account had been suffering. so, pray with us that Churches and individuals would increase or  come on board and join us in this adventure of reaching Perth for Christ!

Women's Christmas Card Making Day


Today we had 9 ladies come and get together to make some Christmas cards. We also raised some money for the Women's camp next year. But, it was a fantastic time as we worked together and shared life with one another.  I was really excited because for the first time Laura's Mum Joanne came and participated and she had a fantastic time. Pray that God would give me an opportunity to share Jesus with Joanne. Even, maybe this Christmas!

Mens Retreat

This past weekend was the Men's Retreat. 11 Men went away and relaxed, ate food, played sports, went car racing, and most important shared God's word.   Chris had the privilege of bringing a series  of  messages about "Being true Disciples" and what that looks like in our lives.  They all came back and had just a little extra inspiration in everything they have been doing!

Pray for the teens...

The teens that we minister to here in our church have been VERY heavy on my heart this last week.    We deal with bi-polar, broken homes, neglect, abuse, anxiety, depression, these all seem to be the "normal" for what teens are dealing with these days. But, would you pray to God would give us the guidance and the words to say to these teenagers.   Some days it feels like we are overwhelmed and we are not sure what God has gotten us into!  But, I know that he has a plan and I know that He has a way. Pray that Chris and I would have the ears to listen and the wisdom, guidance and words to offer them peace.
