Ticket to Ride

2 weeks ago, we were wondering if we were going to be able to go Madagascar. Our financial support wasn't all in, and we knew that we needed to buy airline tickets soon, before the prices got really high. We wanted to go work with a missionary couple in Majunga for a month. Brad would be using his background in computers to assist in networking and teaching classes at the school. Kim would be using her background as an artist to research local art trends and culture, in order to create posters and other material to be used for evangelism. We all wanted to go build relationships with the people of Madagascar- in order to share with them what Christ has been doing in our lives. Maybe then they would want him in their lives, too.
We prayed that God would let us know by the next Wednesday if we could go. We suddenly saw our financial support coming in, and more importantly encouragement from friends who were diligently praying for us. Last Tuesday we totalled everything up that we had, and praised God that He had provided enough for us to get to Madagascar. Today, I ordered the tickets. We will be leaving on May 19 and returning on June 23. God can do above and beyond what we could ever imagine- He is in control and will be with us on this awesome adventure in Madagascar.
