Almost 3 weeks from now...

We'll be leaving for Indonesia.

How. Crazy. Is. That.

I am continually being blown away by God's faithfulness and provision for this trip.

Around 2 weeks ago, we had our second garage sale. We raised over $800!!! WOW!

Then, another crazy thing happened.

I went to turn in money one week. After counting up how much our total should be after I gave it, I knew I had given our accountant that day around $2,400 or so.

I received an email from one of them 2 days later asking if I knew how much I had given that day. I said I knew what the total was but wasn't exactly sure. She said it was because there was MORE money in the envelopes than I had marked on them. I figured I'd just made a simple calculation error. Left out a five or maybe neglected to count a 20.

That Friday, I received our weekly update. I went back and calculated how much money it said I had turned in, just to see how off I was....it was $1,700 more than I had calculated!!!! I know I can be off sometimes. But let's get real. There's no way I neglected to count THAT much money. It also said I turned in a single envelope with $1,000. I never remember writing that on a single envelope.

God. Is. AMAZING.

Currently we have 9 of our 10 plane tickets purchased. We ALMOST have enough money for the 10th one and after that, it's just about raising money for us to live on in the 3 weeks that we're there.

If you are praying for anything, PLEASE PRAY FOR FINANCES!

I know God is moving because every week, more money shows up. It still blows my mind that I have a ticket to Indonesia when I had absolutely no way to pay for it. Indonesia. That country on the OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD.

I also know that in these three weeks, because of your prayers, and because we have a faithful God, we're going to see amazing miracles.

As they happen, I will try to keep you updated.

Thank you so much to everyone who has/is financially and prayerfully supporting us. You have a HUGE inheritance in Indonesia.

updates!

Thank you so much for your prayers, friends!

Last week, our finances DOUBLED! :) How amazing! God provides!
And by now, we have enough money for 6 of our team members to buy plane tickets! This is so awesome!

We still have a long ways to go, but God is seriously moving already. Just imagine what it's going to be like in Indonesia!

Our garage sale had to be moved to a later date because of schedule conflicts, so as soon as we know the official date, we will let you guys know.

THINGS YOU CAN PRAY FOR THIS WEEK:
Orphans and widows in Indonesia - God would begin being their comfort and provision.
Bonds of depression - God would begin breaking those bonds and showing people a new life.
Dreams and visions- God would start giving people dreams and visions of himself, of the truth about salvation, of His amazing love and grace for these people.

As you are praying for us, don't feel silly to pray SPECIFIC prayers. God cares about every little detail in our lives and He is a real God! He hears it all and will never hesitate to answer a prayer from His children. Believe that what you are praying for WILL happen! YOU have an inheritance in Indonesia through your prayers!

Thank you so much for your support. You guys have no idea how much we appreciate and are grateful for you!
