Many of you have asked how we are coming on our support targets for our outgoing expenses and our monthly support. The answer we both consistenly give is "God is good!" We have seen Him provide in ways that amaze us daily. It is a very humbling process and one that continues to build our faith in so many ways. It does make us reflect on Matthew 6:25-27 - "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?"
What an awesome God we serve! He knows all of our needs and provides abundantly. In Isahiah 58:11, it says, "The LORD will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail."
I know that still doesn't answer your direct questions of where exaclty we are in the process, so I have summed it up below. I have also found an online tool that allows us to plug in our support targets. If you will scroll down the page, you will see both our "Outgoing Support Goals" and our "Monthly Support Goals" on the right hand side. We will update this monthly with new amounts as support comes in.
Very briefly, we are currently at about 86% of our outgoing support and about 33% of our monthly support. To still be a over a year from our departure date and be this far along is so encouraging to us. We are excited to see how He continues to provide as we get closer to saying goodbye. As always, thanks for your faithful support! We couldn't be doing this without each of you.
