Goal Accomplished

Matthew 19:26 "But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible." I would like to announce that our support for this summer has been completely raised (almost). We are within $100 of our goal of $7,000. I would like to tell everyone who had a part in our support through finances and prayers a very hearty thank you. Three times now Amy and I have been witness to the wonderful faithfulness of our Lord in bringing in the support we've needed to make this trip. He owns the cattle on a thousand hills and nothing is too difficult for Him. You have all had a part in God's work of raising support and you will all continue to have a part in God's work as we share the gospel to children and teens and see people commit themselves to greater service to God. It will all be possible because of you. Thank you.

I would like to use this opportunity to personally tell anyone who is considering going on a missions trip, but thinks the cost is too high that nothing is too difficult for God. A few years ago on a Monday night is 2008, I sat in Mission Prayer Band as the flyer went around for summer missions trips, not intending in the least on going on one. The prices were listed for about 10 different countries. I looked for the most expensive one, and then laughed and said "I feel sorry for anyone who has to raise $4,000 to go to Australia." Two weeks later God said (in a roundabout manner of speaking), "You're going to Australia and now you have to raise that money, but do not worry, I will provide for you." Now we're going to be full-time missionaries in Australia. Since then, as I said earlier, Amy and I have raised money for 3 trips to Australia. If you have never been on a missions trip before, I highly suggest that you consider it. It will change your life. It changed mine.

Any additional support that we receive from here on out will go towards two things. 1. Any needs of the Maldoff's and Murray River Baptist Church and 2. Our next trip to Australia in 2014, Lord willing.

Mark 11:22-24 "And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them."
