Not much has changed since our last update, even though it?s been almost a month since we e-mailed.
Bob is busy visiting with pastors, scheduling meetings, and studying while I handle the correspondence. Occasionally I have opportunity to use my computer skills to help friends and/or family out with their computer woes. I do miss being involved with technology on a regular basis, as Bob misses teaching.
But this time of furlough has its blessings. We are enjoying the time we can spend with family and friends, catching up on your news and learning first hand how we can pray for you. We love worshiping together with many of you in familiar environments, and ministering to you when we can. This is also a time when we can ?hone? some of our skills and enjoy activities that aren?t available to us on the field.
How can you pray for us?
First of all, we want to find a ?fix-me-up? house at an unbelievably low price, so that we can fix it up to live in while we?re home and then rent it out when we?re gone. Some of the places we?ve looked at are really bad, but affordable! The only thing that makes me willing to consider it is remembering how trashed our school was when we returned and how we got it all back together!
Secondly, we hope to return to the field by the first of the year. Before we can do that, we need to raise enough additional support to replace the subsidy we were receiving from ICA . Since we know that God can do this, we ask that you pray for us as we continue to build relationships with friends and churches, some who will partner with us in prayer and others who will also partner with us financially.
