January - February 2011
Dear Friends,
Thank you again for all of your prayers and support
on our behalf. We are excited about our plans of leav-
ing for language school in Costa Rica at the end of
April! We started making our plans for leaving back
in September when we were at 61% of our support.
Since September, we have had many churches vote
to take us on and promise support, but as of Febru-
ary, only three of those churches have actually started
giving. Please be in prayer that our support starts
coming in soon. The month of October, we were in
nine churches, November -five, December-three, and
this coming spring we will be in fifteen churches. The
schedule has been busy, the churches have been good,
and now we are waiting on the Lord and preparing for
His work. We have purchased our airline tickets and
in the end we know that it is God that provides our
every need. God has shown His faithfulness time and
again throughout deputation, and we will continue to
see Him do so as He has promised us.
Shawn Saved
Recently I was out knocking on doors with a
pastor from Clio, MI and we knocked on Shawn’s
door. After forty-five minutes of talking with her
Shawn accepted Jesus’ Christ as her personal Sav-
ior. We pray that she will grow and that she will
bear much spiritual fruit in her life.
