The countdown has started!
The faith adventure we have embarked on is calling us to take one more giant leap of faith. We have now set our official date of departure for the Philippines.
We will be leaving March 9th!
Words can’t begin to express the excitement and anticipation that fill our hearts. We have had so many incredible experiences this last year and journeyed into such a deeper relationship and reliance on God and the leading of the Holy Spirit.
One year ago we made travel plans to visit the Philippines and the Alstons and spend time experiencing the people and culture we believed God was calling us to.
Nine months ago, in faith, we resigned from full time student ministry at DRA to pursue becoming missionaries. At the time we had not received our official approval and clearance.
Six months ago we had barely begun to build the financial support we needed to leave for the field in the beginning of 2010.
Three months ago we were less than 50% of our needed monthly support and cash budget needed.
Two weeks ago we decided through prayer and faith to take another step of faith and leave for the mission field the end of February regardless of where we stood in regards to financial support.
10 days ago we began to fast and pray for a breakthrough in provision for the ministry we are called to.
Yesterday we received word that we have received enough funding for our first year! Praise the Lord
Thank you so much to everyone who has helped us get this far and close at the same time.
We are presently still $600 short on needed monthly support in order to stay long term. If you haven’t yet made a monthly pledge or even a one time donation; or know someone who may be willing to help us reach our needed budget will you let us know?
Please visit our Donate Now page to get more info on how you can help us reach our required budget.
Sir Edmund Burke stated, “It is a tragedy for him to do nothing, who can only do a little.”
Every little bit makes a huge impact collectively with the many who team with us to make this ministry become a reality.
Thank you for praying with us and for us as we begin the culmination of what we see as “God’s Call to Adventure.”
Destination: Philippines…Departing: Feb. 27th
We are getting so close! We are now nearly 70% funded for our monthly financial pledge needs required for us to receive clearance to leave for the missions field. We are so excited that it is hard to think about anything else as we spend the next few weeks preparing for our departure date.
We would love to have you join our support team both financially & in prayer. Would you claim one of the sponsorships below to help us reach our goal? Once each of these has been spoken for we will have met our financial goal.
Thank you so much for your continued support. May God exceddingly bless you and continue to increase your faith and fuel your passion to see people reached for Jesus Christ.
75/20
We have reached the 75% mark for raising our sending budget, Praise God!
We are now at 20% of our monthly pledge support needed & still have a long way to go before we are permitted to leave for the Philippines, but we know God is raising up our support network & those who will step out into this adventure with us, committing to support us financially in faith each month.
Thank you for your continued support & prayers.

Did You Know?…We Need You!
Did you know?…as missionaries with the Assemblies of God we are 100% funded and supported by a network of friends, family & partnering churches. We are not funded by our national office, known as the AG World Missions Department, in any way. So we need you to help us get to the mission field. 100% of your monthly pledges & one time donations go to our moving costs, including travel, missions school, and living expenses while in the Philippines.
Did you know?…that when you begin making monthly donations to our missions acct., the money you send goes to building our cash budget requirements which will fund our move, schooling, vehicle needs & more once we leave.
Did you know?…we can’t leave for the Philippines until we have $3000/month in pledge commitments from our support network turned in to the national office. We have reached the 10% mark for monthly support.
Did you know?…that even a commitment of $25/month will make a huge difference in helping us become missionaries.
Did you know?…we have reached the 50% mark for our cash budget requirements that will fund our move.
Did you know?…we need: 2 supporters @ $250, 10 supporters @ $100, 20 supporters @ $50, & 20 supporters @$25 to make our ministry in the Philippines a reality.
Did you know?…you can set up an automatic monthly contribution to support us or donate now online.
Did you know?…that you make the difference…Thank You!
Our First Sunday…
Typically this statement would be reflective of a new ministry position at a church in which you experience what it will be like with the community of believers at a particular church. For us, it was the first time we shared our new ministry calling as missionaries to the Philippines with two different churches.
In the morning we spoke at Cedaredge Assembly of God and in the evening at Frutia Assembly of God. (you can learn more about them by following the link under our supporters – churches. Each of these amazing community of believers was encouraging and supportive. After literally never knowing anything else but attending the same church all my life, I am enjoying meeting fellow followers of Christ across the state. I can’t wait for the Sundays and Wednesdays to come…
“Let’s see how inventive we can be in encouraging love and helping out, not avoiding worshiping together as some do but spurring each other on, especially as we see the big Day approaching.” Heb. 10: 24,25 (the Message)
