Update - March 21

We had an awesome time this past Sunday, as we had the opportunity to share a presentation of AIM, Hopes Promise, and ourselves with our home church. Our primary goal was to build vision for reaching the peoples of Africa - and more specifically the peoples of Namibia - for Christ. Subsequent to that was our hope that our home church would be a the real basis (root) of our support team. Here are some of the real exciting things that came out of that time:

• We received an offer from a family to stay/live in their house during furlough times and if we need to sell our house here in VA before we move oversees
• A wonderfully sweet woman (a Christian from Lebanon) gave towards our outgoing funds and expressed her deep passion for children in need, stating that she just "can't let little children go hungry". We knew exactly what she meant.
• We received confirmation from a wise professional in our congregation that he will voluntarily meet with us several times this year to fulfill one of the preparation requirements from AIM. This particular requirement is fairly hefty, and this is an answer to prayer.
  
• We saw God supply pledges and funds enough to cover over 40% of our Outgoing Funds needs.
• We received an email from a woman who asked for us to supply our prayer requests to her so she could pray for us every Friday.

...and so much more. We are learning daily how God's hands are steering this adventure. Even though the support team needs are great (as Namibia is not a cheap place to minister), our God is so much greater still! It's downright fun to observe God at work.
