Summer Days Part 2

Bill just got back from a visit to the Rez and it was a great time of fellowship, worship and work with the SRM team. He was blessed to be there for the Back to School BBQ at the Long House where they had about 175 for dinner, ice cream, crafts with kids and worship! Multiple trips had to be made to pick up all the kids who were so excited to come back after a four week break they would come running down the street to meet the arriving vans and bus. There were many new folks from the community there that now know about the regular Tuesday night Bible study and were invited back. Several of the youth and adults from the community came early to help prepare by setting up for dinner and grilling. It was a wonderful time of fellowship and relationship building with the community. Continue praying for the team as there is still plenty of work to be done in the fall and winter months with a lot less hands to help. You can continue to pray for the remainder of our support to come in so we can be there to help soon. We are currently at 51% of our monthly/annual needs. Thanks again to all of you who have been praying and giving so faithfully!

Summer Days

The summer has come and gone and lots of great things are happening in the Yarbrough world as we prepare for Yakama. We have been meeting with friends and family as the summer has progressed and continue to as we gain more and more supporters. Our percentage is around 45% at this time as our life in Birmingham continues to change. On July 31st we had a great work day at our home with our church family from Oak Mountain Presbyterian. We had anywhere from 40-50 people show up and do work in our yard as well as painting a couple of rooms, tear out carpet and stage it for selling. Our home had a great make over in just one Saturday thanks to our precious church family.
Other changes for us, Bill just finished up his job this week at Five Star Lumber. He is now officially raising support full time and it is our hopes and prayers that we will be getting to Yakama soon. Bill is also taking a trip to Yakama this Saturday, Sept. 4 through Wed. Sept. 8th to meet with the team there and gather more information.
At this time we do feel a bit in limbo as we are homeschooling all of the girls this year and have not participated in soccer or ballet as in years gone by. It is a part of that breaking ties with this home to move to our new one that the Lord is preparing daily for us in his timing.
We want to thank each one of you that have supported us over this past year and a half. The Lord has blessed us with friends and family that continually lift us up and encourage us on our journey. We look forward to the months to come as we draw closer and closer to the time of departure.
Prayers:
-Support continues to come in
-Children with their world changing daily as we prepare to go,
as well as the uncertainty of when we will leave
-Focus as Bill is raising support full time
-Our house to sell
-Patience and perseverance as we continue to prepare
Psalm 16:11
You make known to me the path of life;
in your presence there is fullness of joy;
at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
