Greetings in the name of our King!
We pray this finds you all blessed by our Savior no matter what circumstances have come. We have spent this Christmas season busy getting ready for our move to Kosovo. Lots left to do, but the Lord is faithful every step of the way. We are in the middle of our packing and sorting process which is really bittersweet. We have so many great memories here and while we know God has a plan for us in Kosovo, it is difficult to say goodbye!! We plan on being moved out and staying with family and friends by the first week of January. That first week we'll be staying with family in Murrieta, CA and going to the Calvary Chapel Missions Conference January 3rd thru 6th. We are stoked about that time.
Jeff has been working part-time at Packinghouse this month (December). In January, Jeff will be focused on preparation and no longer on staff at the Packinghouse. This change will also be bittersweet because we have so many friends who we consider family to leave behind and not see on a daily basis!! We will miss you all so much!
Ways to Get Involved:
Prayer: See the dates below and join us for the prayer meetings! If you can’t make the meetings, please email us and we will add you to our prayer team!! Thank you for your prayer!! The battle is won on our knees!
Finances: One time gifts - Thank you so much for your generosity!! We have been in awe of the ways He has provided thus far, and we know He will continue to provide. Due to some very generous one-time gifts, we met our budget for building our apartment!! What a blessing this is to not have any rent!! We also have some money left over to help with other start up costs like buying furniture, dishes, etc. buying a car, and ministry costs.
Monthly Contributions – 70% of what we need monthly for our salary/living expenses has already been committed. All of this funding has come from supporters that are either individuals or churches. Mostly individuals. We are also responsible for all of the ministry and seminar expenses. So please pray for funds to be raised for this ministry as well.
