Hallalujah! Praise God Forever! We have been officially released from World Gospel Mission.
We never would have been though if it had not been for the abundant mercies of Jesus and the gracious sacrifical love of so many persons and families. We knew from other missionaries' experiences that God rarely provides "well-in-advance" and sure enough, He waited until our very last scheduled "meeting" to provide our outstanding needs.
Prior to that last "meeting," we spent almost four weeks in New Jersey which was an incredible opportunity to share in warm-hearted churches and with Jesus seeking kids. While we are "new" to the Delanco Campmeeting family, we have grown to love them and they have been a deep source of encouragement and support.
We finished up July at Indian Springs in central Georgia, which is our home campmeeting. What a privilege it was to be there as the actual missionaries. The breakfast conversations and sharing times around the grounds were not only a blessing to our hearts but memorable for the days ahead. One of the significant prayer requests was how God was going to provide the last of our monthly support needs. True to His character though and as a kind Father, He did provide and what sacrifical love was poured out on us as well as on the Fullers (the other missionary family). Hallelujah! Praise God Forever!
Even more meaningful than the wonderful offering, was the commissioning prayer time the camp had for us on the last Friday evening. We knelt at a very sacred altar and many of our family and dearest friends laid hands on us and prayed for God to go with us. How thankful we are to Jesus for Indian Springs.
We then spent the first week in August up at WGM Headquarters in Marion, IN and had a very good experience attending orientation camp for new missionaries. While there, they officially released us to leave for Uganda September 4th!!! Hooray!
Thank you so much for praying, giving, loving, and sending us forth. We are privileged to have a few days this month with our families as we pack, rest, and prepare our hearts for all God has ahead in Uganda.
