We have been very thankful for the encouragement many people have given us over these past months of preparation through your words, prayers and financial support. We are so excited to announce that we have 100% of the financial support through pledges that we need to teach at Faith Academy in Manila, Philippines with Wycliffe Bible Translators for two years! We were also hoping for 50 people who would support us through weekly or daily prayer, we now have 71!
We are going to be leaving on July 16. Praise God we received our visas several weeks ago. We will fly out of Minneapolis on a 12-hour flight to Tokyo and after a two-hour lay over, we will fly for 4-1/2 hours to Manila, arriving on July 17. On July 28 we have a week-long orientation with Wycliffe. On Aug. 4 we have a week-long orientation with Faith Academy. On Aug. 12, school starts.
