Fundraiser Lunch

We had a fundraiser lunch at our church Sunday. We had a great turnout and made a pretty good profit. We served carnitas and shredded chicken with spanish rice and black bean soup. Yum yum! We even had salsa music playing to set the mood. I was very pleased with the turnout and we had alot of fun doing it. Thanks to everyone who helped make that happen. So now we have enough money for plane tickets and visas and such. We can get there but we still have a long way to go for the monthly support side of it. Pray that God brings partners on board with us.

Pennsylvania Trip

I firmed up a trip today to go to Pennsylvania and speak at a church in March. The directors of the ministry we are partnering with were able to get us into their church. That's a blessing. God has been creating quite a few opportunities to speak in churches in the area and even out of state. Pray that more churches become partners with us in this adventure.

Up To Speed

So I thought I would bring every one up to speed as far as where we're at in the whole process of preparing for our move. To start off, we've decided to step on board with a ministry called Big Family. Big family is an outreach ministry to Russian orphans in St. Petersburg and some of the surrounding areas.

We've been in contact with the directors of this organization for awhile now. God kept redirecting us back to them. Every time we would make a contact with someone in Russia it would lead back to Big Family. We felt drawn to them from the start.

We met the directors through our church. When they came out to spend some time with us (and make sure we weren't crazy) it just seemed to fit. It was an answer to our prayer that God would clarify our purpose over there. We're really excited to work with them and are looking forward to what God is going to do to build this relationship.

That's it for this post. I'm sure I'll have many more thoughts to put on here but I'll end for now.

Welcome!!
