Hello friends!
After a whirlwind couple of months of raising support and making preparations, we are overjoyed to report that we are now in the home stretch of our journey to starting our commitment at Rancho Ebenezer... Our flight to Honduras is officially booked for Tuesday, Aug. 9!
The absolutely best part about the last few months has been seeing God go before us. We anticipated that He would do the heavy lifting, and He did not disappoint! We are thankful for everyone who has lifted us up in prayer and/or become a financial supporter of our ministry. Aug. 9 will mark the start of our 4-year-commitment. Thank you all for partnering with us and our amazing God as we seek to follow His leading in our lives.
This weekend we will be speaking at First City Church, our church in Pensacola. The lead pastor Taran and his wife Jessie are good friends and played a big role in inspiring us to follow God's calling in our lives and become foster parents. Taran will be interviewing us during their 10 am service, which will also be available online at their YouTube page. Please pray that the Holy Spirit will speak through us as we share our story.
With just a few weeks left before we leave, we hope to take advantage of any and every opportunity to see our friends and family. From 7/17 to 7/27 we'll be traveling and seeing family and friends in East Florida, South Carolina and George. From 7/27 to 8/9 we'll be in the Pensacola/Pace area, and on 7/29 and 8/6-7 we will be in Panama City. We have two official "send-offs" scheduled - at our church in Pensacola (First City Church) on 7/31 and our church in Panama City (Lynn Haven United Methodist) on 8/7.
If you are in any of the areas where we'll be and would like to see us before we take off, please let us know and we'll see if we can make schedules work. Email me at kris.nelson@wgomission.org or Steve at steve.nelson@wgomission.org.
All glory to God... and a recent picture. 😃 God bless you all!
