While we are still waffling between what our budget should be, we decided to give everyone a little update on how our fundraising is going. If we live on a very tight budget with very little wiggle room (but a lot of trust that God will provide for our needs) we are at 71% with monthly commitments and one time gifts. If we still to our original goal of $250,000 we are at 57%.
We have already purchased our plane tickets and are leaving on December 4th regardless of where we are at in our fundraising because we felt very strongly that God was leading us to just trust Him. He tells us in Matthew not to worry because He provides food for the sparrows and clothes for the lilies and how much more will He provide for His dear children. We feel an amazing amount of peace right now about God's timing. We are also in the process of sending out prayer cards for those of you who are supporting us so you can hang them on your fridge and remember to say a little (or big) prayer for us when you walk by :) If you did not receive a letter from us before but are following our blog please feel free to email us and we can send you a card. So many of you have given so generously to help us with our mission and we are so humbled and grateful for your support. You are being Jesus to the orphans in Lesotho by allowing us to fulfill God's purpose for our family and we are so blessed by your friendship and love.
