We met the most wonderful loving couple, their names; Jean and David Ohlerking…
Founders of Children’s Cup International.
After spending 3 days of talking their “ears off” and eating a great deal of delicious food ( for which I now have to spend 3 months of dieting to loose) and meeting all their Children and Grandchildren, we have found two truly great friends who are now a part of our Journey.
There is still the paperwork to complete and the budget to create and rounding up support for one year, a lot of material items to get rid of…but….. I rely greatly on this passage:
Phil. 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me.
We know this cannot be done of ourselves but only through God.
The Plan: To be in Swaziland Africa around January 2009. A year seems like a very long time but it will go bye quickly and there is so much to do.
It is amazing to us what has transpired over the last 4 months, we know God has his hand in this. We close on the sale of our house and land January 3rd 2007 (little scary) No, we will not be homeless for the next year, the buyer has agreed for us to stay in our home month by month without any ties until we leave for Africa.. and get this -- At half of our mortgage payment. (What a blessing given by God).
Until the next entry:
We ask for your prayers for us and our family as we pursue what God has in store for us.
