We cannot begin to share all that God has been doing this past month. His faithfulness never fails. We want to update you on our support-raising status and share a little about how God is moving. We are well on our way to having enough support to be considered at “part-time status”. Because of this Justin is planning on leaving his current full-time job by the end of March. We have quite a few people telling us they are planning on supporting us. If this is you, we want to encourage you to go ahead and make that commitment now. Even though we are not drawing the money and living from it yet, we are planning for the future based on the financial gifts and pledges that have been made.
We wanted to take a moment to answer a few questions we have been asked multiple times.
Do we have plans to travel and raise support?
Yes!! We are planning a trip to the Carolinas and possibly Georgia during the month of March. We are looking for churches, businesses, family and friends in that area who would like for us to share. Our plan is to coordinate a dinner in Charlotte, NC during our trip so we can share with friends there, hug necks and enjoy some fellowship with people we miss so much! Later in the Spring/Summer we will be looking into traveling to some different areas of the U.S., depending on who invites us to come share our story. If you or your church/business are interested in having us visit please send us an email so we can work out dates. You can reach us at [email protected]
When are we going to Kenya and what will we do there?
We are praying about going to Kenya in July for a quick trip. Our goal during our time in the country will be to update all of the children’s records and organize the sponsorship database. The schools Hungry 4 Him partners with have grown so much that the volunteers are struggling to keep up with everything. We will be sprucing up the process and tidying up the files.
While in Kenya we will also be updating pictures, shooting some video footage, and of course, hugging people we miss and starting new relationships.
While in the U.S. what will we be working on first?
We are already getting our feet wet by sorting through the current records of all the children at the schools in Kenya. That is our first priority. We want to help establish an organized procedure for child sponsorship on the U.S. side so we can keep it updated easily as we travel to Kenya several times a year. The board members and volunteers who have been handling this are doing a great job and are excited to have extra hands helping!
The second task we will begin working on is sharing Hungry 4 Him’s vision with individuals, churches and businesses. There are so many children living in poverty and our dollars go so far in Kenya. We want everyone to have an opportunity to bless one of these children. If your church, business or family is interested in hearing more, send us an email. We would love to talk with you! You can reach us at [email protected]
What are our prayer needs?
Finances: Pray that God will provide support for full-time status or a part-time job to fill the gap.
Trip to Kenya is July: Pray that God provides the money we need to travel.
Transition: Pray that the transition from Justin’s current job to working from home and depending on support goes smoothly. Pray that our faith will be made stronger and that we keep our eyes focused on the Lord and the vision He has placed in our hearts.
Network: Pray that God continues to bring a strong network of people who have a heart like His and want to advance His Kingdom.
