We are well on our way for support-raising, but not quite where we need to be this close to departure. We need to have 50% of our support raised at this stage and we only have 11% of our monthly support raised so far. We are praying that the Lord would provide. He's provided so much to clear the path for us to go to New Orleans, we have confidence that His provision will follow us there. We included our pledges for the year in the figures below:
There are at least 4 people going with us to New Orleans on a team from our church. Phil's mom might be going with us for the week. (She was on our team that went back in April, too.) This is an answer to prayer as we were looking for another adult to come on the trip.
This past week, the Lord (once again) answered a prayer of ours. We had been praying for a cargo trailer to bring with us. U-Haul had one we could rent for 2 days/one-way that was nearly $600, much more than we had anticipated spending. As we've continued to pray and to search for one, we ended up finding one in Round Lake that we could rent for 2 weeks and it would cost about half as much as U-Haul. Yea, God!!! Thanks to a family in the church, we will be able to pick up the trailer early next week and haul it with us on the 21st.
This next week will be a difficult one for us as we will be saying good-bye to family and friends. We are bringing a web cam with us to keep in contact via the internet from time to time. If you have Yahoo Messenger or MSN Messenger, let us know. Don't forget, our email address is: weheartno@gmail.com.
Until next time...
