Time to tie our shoes


We are leaving in one week. We are all very excited and ready to be available for what God has for us in Madagascar. Madagascar is an island about the size of Texas- and is off the south east coast of Africa. We will be living and teaching at the BAO school, which is like a college that offers Computer, English and Bible courses.
What will God have for us in Madagascar? We are not certain, but we are looking forward to it! And, yes, we are a little nervous about all of the unknowns. But, who is BIGGER than the unknowns? Whose POWER are we using? Not ours, thankfully! We wouldn't make it on our own. I read this promise-filled verse again, today- check it out....
Isaiah 40:31 - But those who wait for the Lord’s help find renewed strength; they rise up as if they had eagles’ wings, they run without growing weary, they walk without getting tired.
I know we will need this verse this month. What a huge promise from God! We have personally seen His strength in the past, and we will remember that He will give us His strength now. No matter what we encounter, He is leading us through it- HOW GREAT IS THAT!
I can't wait to start building some relationships with the wonderful people that we will meet on our journey. Pray for us as we tie our shoes and go.

Hey guys!

I'm so glad that all worked out with Nick's passport. Talk about the nick of time!!! Like I told Brad this AM, God must have some really big things in store for Satan to have tried so hard to stop the trip. Have a great time! We'll seee you in a few weeks. Remember you're covered in prayer.

Hope your monkey hunt is successful, Zak.
