We have had just a wonderful summer getting the opportunity to share our call and vision with so many. The beginning of June started off with our vacation bible school at our home church, Oak Mountain Presbyterian were we were the mission focus this year. We had somewhere between 400-450 children, lots of helpers and great opportunity to share about Yakama and our call to the mission field. The kids responded immediately as they asked what they could do, well they went out and did it. We saw some out in the community, multiple lemonade stands, diet coke and cookie stands, kids bringing in their banks and asking to take money out of savings for the mission project. We doubled our goal for the week and praise God for those great big hearts in all those children desiring to foreward the gospel in Yakama, Washington.
We also had an opportunity to visit with my parents home church is Springville, Al. June 9th we shared at The Church at Bradford Road. The congregation was very interested in where we were going and in being able to bring a team out sometime to work. They also took up a special gift for us that night. It was a great night getting the opportunity to share our vision with fellow believers and possibly to have them send a short term team out to Yakama.
What is going on with the Yarbrough's since? Bill is working part time as of the last 2-3 weeks and we are able to focus more on our support raising. The Lord has been preparing our hearts for our mission now it is time to prepare our home. We are cleaning out our home and preparing in the next month to have it on the market.
Thank you all for your prayers and your support. I may have put this before but I love this verse as we prepare to go. 1 Thes. 5:24 He who has called you is faithful, he will surely do it. Tina
