Special times sharing at churches

"And my God shall supply all your needs, according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus."
 Philippians 4:19
We have just come back from visiting family in ND, and while we were there we had an opportunity to take some time to share our missions presentation in three new churches.  It was wonderful to share our passion for missions to people that do not know what mission aviation looks like overseas.  We have met many great people that want to see us succeed and have joined our prayer support team.  We realize that without this vital ministry we could open ourselves up for spiritual attacks.  With the different contacts we have made this past trip we are praying that the Lord will continue to bring more financial support in addition to prayer support.  We are content to wait on Him as we know that the Lord knows our needs and He is faithful to supply all that we need.  Many people have been very generous this past Christmas and we are so thankful to them and that the Lord spurred their hearts to give.

Happy Christmas and Merry New Year!

Negative temperatures, mountains of snow, endless prairie, icy roads, yep, we are back in North Dakota for the holidays!  Not only have we had the blessing of spending a few weeks with family, but the Lord also provided a few opportunities to share about our ministry with Proclaim/Spokane Turbine Center at a couple of churches.  We have one church left to visit and share with this coming Sunday.  It is so exciting to us to be able to share about the impact Spokane Turbine Center is having on missionary pilots overseas and to share our vision of us going overseas in the next several years. We both still feel the Lord's calling strongly to pursue overseas missions and are excited about the new prayer and financial supporters He is bringing alongside us. 

Here are a few pictures to give you a small idea of what our time in ND has been like thus far:
