This is the day, this is the day...

Shimbly September.

I do feel as if I have possibly neglected my news from this last month…I feel like I am late, I’m not thought, right? It is just the end of September.

First of the firstlies, I want to thank each of you for your petitions in pra*yer for our school’s finances. Such a beautiful ending came about ten minutes before our plane tickets needed to be purchased. We were standing in the classroom, singing songs of tha*nksgiving while Darcy, the school leader frantically recalculated all the inflow of finances. Sure enough, while we shouting “there was thunder in his footsteps and lightning in his fis---“, the board was erased. All 232,571 dollars had come in.

What has been learned?
1. I want to be like an air popper, where seeds (finances) are poured into me and I pop them right back out.
2. I have never seen a worried bird.
3. Pra*yer IS where it’s at.

Countless stories of generosity, money flowing through one person and into the hand of another. There were a couple instances personally about G*od prompting me to ask a specific person for a certain amount…not something so “socially acceptable”, but man oh man, I saw G*od use this in a massive way. Much more massive than release of finances. Okay, just one story. I asked a friend from Germany to pr*ay about giving 200 euros. Now that’s quite a bit of money, about 400 AUD. So he was praying, and after a week we were able to talk again, and he shared that he was on the brink of losing his apartment and that he still had bills to pay and that at this time he couldn’t give. I was able to pr*ay for him over the internet and to keep me posted. He needed a friend at that moment. Even though that felt purposeful, I felt for sure that that where there would be release. Anyway, I walked home, feeling confused, exhausted and wondering-“G*od, tomorrow I need 3,600, where is it going to come from?”...Oh me of little faith.
I walked into my bedroom and splayed across my floor was 400 AUD.
Unity. So G*od’s heart, that we are cared for and that we learn to care for each other.

Today is the day that we leave as a team of 27 for Tanzania. G*od has been faithful to me in making moments for me to take deep breaths and refocus, time to scramble to the city and half hour blocks to call my family.

We will be staying at a base there, working in a local clinic that has about a delivery a day as well as a government hospital that has roughly 50 labouring women a day. Our team will live in a muslim community where the main water source is on our property, we will have many chances to share the liv*ing water. ☺

Well guys, this month has come and gone with eagerness. The students are ready on the front lines. They are amazingly inquisitive, encouragers of one another, dreaming big and diligent learners.

Thank you all for the pra*yers and ask for your continued support! I will still be blogging and communicating there approximately weekly. You guys are the best!

i just wanted to let you all know...

That 10 minutes before the purchasing of our tickets needed to be happen...
all our finances were finally covered.

We are done. We are absolutely finished paying finances...

Yay! Thank you for your pra*yer cover!
More stories to come.

we are almost there.

Well, Wednesday came and went and it was a party. I don't have a full, conscious, story for you yet because of my inability to focus due to sleep deprivation. However, I wanted to let you know, that G*od is indeed good and is indeed faithful.

As of last Friday, I was personally needing 6,200 dollars and our class was sitting in the sixty thousands somewhere. On Tuesday night we were at 42,000 and by last night we were at 15,000. We are currently still needing about 10,000 dollars. Is G*od not fait*hful? As of Tuesday I was personally needing 4,200. By Wednesday morning I needed zero. Thank you L*ord.

So, if I could ask you to still be standing by our side tonight for the final release, especially over the Montoya family. They are needing a lot of thousands still.

We will keep fighting for the full release.

A fuller update, with all the insider/life lessons/how cool G*od is, soon to come.

Hey Everyone...

I think it was just last week that I sent an update, maybe two weeks ago. Anyway, since we are so close to our due date for finances, I wanted to send a special update to keep you posted and ask for your pra*yers especially these next couple days.

We are currently needing to see 53,000 more dollars by this Tuesday and could use your pra*yers at any moment and any time. Especially for one family; The Montoyas are a family of five who are coming on outreach and need to see 23,000 dollars come in by Wednesday. They have been receiving mixed responses from family and friends about their choice to come into mis*sions. We all have been pushing for them and I felt the next step was to ask you, my family of friends, to also push for their finances.

I am getting closer and closer to seeing all my personal finances roll in. This weekend we had an amazing, last minute, anointed garage sale and we got to see a nice chunk come off my number, bringing me down to 4,500. Thank you to everyone who participated through donations of goods and of time.

So let me know if you have questions or you are receiving strategy or want to be a part of giving to our school!

Bekah!

these 3 teams of perth were...

...commissioned tonight.

One of the girls from the entry level school shared a small testimony that I wanted to pass on.

She started out by nervously opening a crumpled paper. She confidently read "G*od is perfect in all his ways". She made eye contact with all of us listening and said that 9 weeks ago she didn't believe that statement. She and her husband came to go deeper with G*od. They were living a life minus relationship with G*od. Every one of their difficult and painful circumstances was what shaped how they looked at G*od.

She shared that G*od began to work on this and swapped the viewing of life through circumstances to the viewing of circumstances through G*od's character. This launched her and her husband into a hot pursuit of understanding that G*od is constantly wanting to speak to us, even the next step of life. They sought the L*ord for what was next and he spoke clearly with "I have something bigger". They obediently laid their 2 desires down. Two weeks ago we watched a film about the needs of the unreached peoples. During that evening G*od called her husband to China. She quickly said "I will go in support as your wife". Two days later, the L*ord spoke the same vision to her.

After the completion of their school they will take another course that will launch them into the nation of China.

From skewed vision to hearing the voice of the L*ord to the burden for people to committing to go.

as of today...

we are down to $64,000ish.
wowie zowie.
