Our First Response Card

After candidate school, the list of things to make and do to prepare for raising support was a little overwhelming. We were ready to run out and talk to others, but there was much to be done before that could happen. We had our picture made as a family (especially since Ella was only 3 1/2 months old) to include on our prayer card. Then came writing the letter that would be sent to people about moving into full-time ministry. We also needed response cards. The list continues on and on.

Finally, we were at a good place with creating things and now we needed to start really practicing how we would ask others when meeting face to face. Creating the presentation was the easy part, we have to practice! Patrick & Lisa Dorough agreed to be our first trial run. With The Christmas Angel and all they have going on, it was great to get their take on it. They were incredibly helpful and encouraging. We have had several presentation opportunities and it is really exciting to see and hear others' reactions regarding us moving into full-time, faith-based ministry.

One of the best things is praying about our future partners. As I pray for God to direct our path, He will lead us to wonderful conversations about missions and different ministries with friends and family. Our support family is so important to us. We need the prayers and monthly financial support in order to even move to Mentone, AL. We received our first response card back with a partnership! We are at 4% of our 100% goal! This is a huge step for us. Please follow our progress towards our goal with the thermometer on the right side of this blog. We are praying for God's timing because we know it is perfect.
