This past month has been a very challenging time for both me and Rachael. God has truly been testing our faith with this fund-raising for Japan, but He has also been healing our hearts from things that have been hindering us from growing closer to Him.
Last Sunday, Rachael and I had the opportunity to share with our congregation about our passion to go and minister to the people of Japan. We were expecting a pretty big reception, but we ended up only hearing from a few people. It was a bit discouraging, but at the same time, we thank God for the new people He has brought into our lives! There were a couple people/families that I have never met before that were willing to jump on the boat and support our cause. That was such a wonderful blessing, but now we need to come up with some more ideas to find supporters.
I wanted to personally thank anyone who has lent us their support, whether it be financial support, prayer support, or both. You are the only way we can accomplish God's calling in our lives, so we thank you now for your early support. We love you all, and we can only hope that your giving will bless you as much as it blesses us.
