First and foremost, we want to say "Praise God", because our Outgoing Support needs have been met. What that means is the funds are now (or will soon be - due to pledged support) in place, and the costs associated with 6 plane tickets, Africa-Based Orientation, setup in Namibia, etc. have been paid for! This is HUGE! :-)
Secondly, we want to say thank you so much for those of you that have committed to support us in sending us to Africa. God has decided to use His people to fund this ministry, and we are humbled by those who are sharing in the sacrifice.
Now, this is what is left -> We are still in need of about 45% of the required monthly support funds (we will be happy to discuss the exact figure on a personal basis, but will withhold mention of it here on our blog, since it's a rather public venue). Many of you have indicated a desire to support us. We would like to take a moment to encourage you to go before God and ask Him what He would ask of you. If you then feel led to support us by either regular prayer (more important than $$) or financially, we would ask for you to fill out a pledge form so we can track the support.
As mentioned before - on December 12th (or near to that time) AIM will review our monthly support pledges to see if there is enough provision there to send us off in January (our current target). It is our heart to go as soon as God will allow!
You can download a copy of the pledge form by clicking here: PLEDGE FORM with Instructions
And, in case you're curious, here's an estimate of what the monthly support will cover:
As always - if you have any questions, please feel free to email us at reachnamibia@yahoo.com

Lelo,
Hey there! It's so good to hear back from you! We miss you guys very much as well. Leaving our church family has been difficult, to say the least.
I will pass along the message to the rest of the family.
Blessings,
