The count down has begun

As we get closer and closer to our planned date of departure our lives continue to get busier and busier. Bill and Miranda just came back from Yakama on March 27th. The two of them went and spent a week with the last spring teams for this year from the University of Washington RUF and Redeemer PCA in California. Bill was able to look into some housing possibilities and Miranda spent some good time with the Granberry's working with the teams and getting an idea of what school will be like on the rez.
Now back for 1 week our family is leaving next Saturday, April 9th to head to Palmer Lake, Colorado for three weeks of missions training at Missions Training International. Each of our family members will have classes during this time of
preparedness right before we go out into the field. We are excited about this time with the family and our last big thing to do before heading to the rez. Please pray for safety and for a time of family unity as we launch out onto the rez to do the work the Lord has been preparing us for.
We have four months before we head to the rez and are still in need of $2000 in monthly support and $26,350 in one time gifts left of our $36,350 one time goal. Please pray that the Lord would continue to provide for these needs, as well as selling our home in Birmingham, so that we are prepared as we head to the rez in August. Thank you all for your continued encouragement, prayers, and financial support.
