Financial Status
As a reminder, we have been cleared to go, but if you recall we were still about three hundred dollars short of our support target when we were cleared as it looked like it would all be in place by the time we left. As it stands, we still need about $100 month in pledges per month in order for us to not be running short on even our basic needs. We are going in faith that this amount will be there. God has never let us down.
(BTW - It’s January, and we are less than a week away from being truly dependent on the financial support pledged.)
You can send your monthly support via the following methods:
(1) online at https://www.aimint.org/usa/online_giving.html
(2) by phone at 1-800-254-0010
(3) through Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT) - http://www.aimint.org/usa/automatic_contributions.html
(4) or by mail.

Regarding recent issues in Kenya
Some of you have been watching the news reports regarding violence and instability in Kenya due to issues with recent elections and have asked us what will happen to us and our plans to spend time in Kenya for Africa-Based Orientation. AIM has a very large missionary presence in Kenya as well as a Crisis Management team on the ground. They are providing "up-to-the-minute" updates to AIM’s headquarters. The latest reports say that the conditions have stabilized and it is believed that life is returning to normal. That said, we are asking that you pray for the situation there for God’s continuing intervention.
Prayer Requests
· For the situation in Kenya, as described above
· For the sale of our house, which is still on the market (it’s also available for rent)
· For the sale of one of our vehicles (we have a good friend who will continue sale process after our departure, if necessary)
· For Steve’s dad, who continues to battle health issues
· For our health and safety during travel and the transition process
Also, thank you so much for your support and encouragement lately, as it has definitely been valued and appreciated. Thank you also for those who made it out for our Commissioning Service. We were really really touched by the level of support shown. It was a really remarkable time for us.
If you have any questions about things (such as our schedule, commuincation during our transition, setting up to use Skype, how to provide financial support, etc.) or just want to catch up while we’re still a local phone call for most of you, please give us a ring at (703) 338-2275 (Steve’s cell) or (571) 246-3687 (Karrie’s cell). Those numbers will be turned off on or around January 10th.
