Because we have some exciting news to share, we are updating you mid-month, before our June update.
Praise God, we have purchased our tickets (thanks to those of you who have recently taken on our support or sent gifts in to our passage fund). Although we are lacking $350 of our monthly support, we are trusting God that He will provide. He has given us reason to trust by meeting so many of our needs along the way, leading us to believe He would have us go to Niger in time for the coming school year at Sahel Academy. We will be flying out of Cleveland on June 27th. As we take this step of faith, we are counting on those of you who have said you would consider supporting our ministry.
Just yesterday, we received word that our renter will be unable to rent our house as planned. So, once again, we ask you to pray that God will provide that special someone to rent our house while we are gone.
Here\’s how you can pray:
— Additional support; we need $350/month;
— Trustworthy renter for our house;
— Emotional strength and peace as we say our good-byes;
— Housing in Niamey, as well as other settling-in details;
— Settling-in expenses (may be as much as $7000).
Once again, we want to remind you of how you can give to our ministry of Training the Next Generation. The easiest way to do this is by going clicking this online giving link. You can also send your check (marked for the Gillespies) to:
