Well, the time has finally come. Sometimes it seemed like it would never come, so far away. But here we are at last. We are leaving for Ithaca, New York this Wednesday!
The Lord has been gracious to us and provided 67% of our budget goal so far! We are so thankful for all the folks who have prayerfully & financially partnered with us thus far. With 3% more, we will be able to minister full-time on campus for the first 6 weeks.
Please continue to pray for 100% of our budget goal by August 21st! (If not 100%, at least our 70% minimum.) Please continue to pray that the Lord would lead us into financial partnership with new churches & individuals who would catch our vision for ministry & the Gospel!
Also, please pray that we would be able to connect with potential churches and individuals by phone. As most of our fund-raising at this point will now be done by phone.
We have almost completely packed up Lindsay's things here in Mankato, MN. Tomorrow (Tuesday) we leave for Rochester, MN to load a few of my things from home. Then, Wednesday morning we will drive our 14' Uhaul, with Buster (our Dodge Neon) dollied behind it, to Grand Rapids, MI (9 hour drive) for a friend's wedding in Holland, MI. We will stay there for a few days, then Saturday we will drive the rest of the way to Ithaca, NY (9 hour drive).
We are anxious to have our own space to settle into, to unpack, relax, and begin a normal routine. We are also anxious to bond with our staff team & get acquainted with the city.
Please pray for all the details of packing, moving, and our travel to MI & NY.
This may be our last post before we arrive in Ithaca, NY. Thank you all so much for your faithful partnership in prayer for us in this challenging & exciting time of transition!
Because He is able,
[M&L]
