Quick Update...

So a lot has happened in the past month. And I mean A LOT! To make a long story short, God has provided a great need. Basically, we needed to find a sending agency, and within 24 hours we basically had one. We are now partnered with The Second Tunic, a local sending agency that fit our needs perfectly. And everything was just perfect. They are based in Lititz, just 10 minutes from our house. The directors, Daryl and Mary Martin, have been to the Philippines to visit missionaries they support. They have been to Davao City and have had interactions with midwives from Mercy Maternity Center. Wow! Like I said, it just seems like a perfect fit. I really don't think God could have provided a better solution for us. Well, of course not. He's God, He's perfect, so of course it is a perfect solution.

So now all of our funds are being processed through The Second Tunic. We have packets of information we can hand out or mail to people. We have shared at our home church and at my parents' church the past two Sundays. We also have fundraiser meals planned for each church. Now we are in the fundraising phase. We have to have a lot of money raised or pledged before we can leave. When I think about it, I really have no idea how this will work out. But, knowing how much God has provided for us already, and truly believing that God has called us to go to the Philippines, I am simply trusting in Him that He will provide the funding for us. Our task is to be obedient to His call and move forward into the call He has placed on us.

So that's about it. We are selling furniture, raising funds, finding renters and life is just moving along quite rapidly right now. Two months from now we will be in the Philippines. Wow! All I can say is "Praise God"!
