God Called; We Answered

If you are seeing this, then no doubt you are aware of the calling God has placed on our lives. We have been called on a journey to the country of Papua New Guinea for a year. As we embark on this adventure, we are faced with many questions and concerns. What should we expect in this third world country? What do we do with all of our belongings and a car we haven't finishing paying off? How can we possibly afford this trip? Who will pray for us? These are just a couple thoughts going through our minds.

In the months leading up to our trip, we will be working on easing some of our concerns. If you feel so lead, there are a couple of concerns with which you can assist us. We are always looking for more people to partner with us in prayer. This trip will not happen and lives cannot be changed without the power of prayer behind us. We need everyone we can find to lift us up in prayer throughout this upcoming year of our lives so that things will go well with us and people will be touched.

In addition to your prayers, we ask those of you who can, support us financially. We know that not everyone can give, but we know that some people can. Even if we clean out all of our savings, we cannot afford this trip. This trip cannot happen without help from both you and God. If God is leading you to give, then please visit our donation site to make a tax deductible gift:
