VW miracle - we're on our way

Dear Family and Friends,
The Lord woke Josie early Sunday morning to drive the VW beetle over to the campus of SAU where a flea market had just begun and park it in front of the Village Market. Just before 8 am she walked back home. A short time later some phone calls were received re the little car, more than one from a very interested young man and his mother. By evening, the VW was sold - a miracle of blessing! We fly out of Atlanta Monday 6 am, on the Lord's business. We're tired but ready. May God keep you faithful while we are apart - Jesus is coming very soon!

Leaving the U.S.

Hello Family and Friends,
Our departure date is Monday, Oct 25, 2010 from Atlanta at 6 am. We pray to be used by God and to praise His Name always. Jesus set us a beautiful example, and we can encourage each other to follow Him every day.
It has been suggested to let you know how you can help the mission and ministries in Chad.

Thank you, thank you! And God bless you!

Holding Pattern

After reading some of the "real" missionary stories, our news seems mundane . . . but wait until we arrive in Chad! I just love seeing how the Lord is putting the puzzle pieces together - there have been a couple of delays to our departure, but we are okay because the time we can spend with family and friends in the U.S. is very precious. We still have "loose ends to tie up," so a couple more days are very welcome. Kel is ready to sell our little '73 SuperBeetle, we have packed 2 suitcases, and are camping in our sons' living room. To finish the passport saga, we have received both of them with visas stamped inside for Chad - thanks so much, Lord!
And we will post the definite departure date, soon!

Homeless - it's a good thing!

One more step toward leaving for Chad - we are now officially homeless! Our apartment was checked out and we are temporarily sharing accommodation with our two sons. We praise God for giving us the energy (and help from family members) to cope with this gigantic job. A few more boxes to sort through. Need to pare down to two suitcases each. "This world is not my home, I'm just a-passing through . . ." "I'm just passing through, I don't have time to play, I'm on business for my King and I can't stay. Just like Abraham, I'm just passing through, a messenger am I with a song about Salvation from on High."
