PRAISE GOD! We are 23% closer to being fully-funded this week than we were last week. God is so amazing and SO good. He answered our prayers in a matter of a couple hours. We received phone calls and emails from people all within a couple of hours and jumped 23% in funding in just a couple of hours!

We know that God is doing a lot in us and in each person who responds, and we're SO thankful for that! You are such a blessing to us!

Please keep praying that we reach full-funding by January. We had to push out our leave date just shortly before this surge of funding came in, and we strongly believe that both things are part of God's plan. With the extra time we have, we're hoping to be able to reach 100% of our budget and be able to put the stress of fundraising behind us and focus on each of you who are praying, reading, giving, and generally being such a huge support to us as we prepare for our work in Guinea-Bissau.

Please also pray that God will continue to provide us wisdom and discretion. We've been really blessed as we talk to each of you and learn from you, and we're very blessed and thankful to have you in our lives!
