Explaining the Case for Our Mission at Crosspoint Community Church
Praise God! Our trip went very well. The church was very encouraging and even allowed us to sit in on a missions committee meeting where they discussed the budget! It seems they may be one of our big supporters! Please pray for this. We may find out their decision, including the pledge amount, by next month. On top of this, we got a few special gifts and an individual even pledged to support us at a $100 a month and gave their first gift today!
The Lord answered our prayers and helped us get home in just 3 and a half hours! That's the "correct" amount of time it should take (Not like yesterday's 7 hour trip). We were amazed as we zipped though most of LA like it was out on the open road.
But it was tiering for the family. No more trips for Christine and Jojo until Thanksgiving. Next weekend, I'll be flying to Arizona alone.

Yes! Praise God for the response. Hey, I just sent a thank you note to Pastor Brad Swope at Horizon and mentioned your name. I can really see how our Father may be working things out to complete our support base by the end of the year.
That would be so cool for that to happen. Now if it does come in by the end of the year, how long will it take you to get the clearance to take off to the Philippines?

At around 90%, we would begin talks with the Field Council in the Philippines and the BGC would let us nail down a date, probably in mid February. But we have a mandatory training program to attend in Colorado in January before departure. Then, we'll be off to the mission field!
