No Printer - No Problem

God is good. He gave me the idea to e-mail our support letter to a friend asking her to print one for me. She was already making some color copies for me for our purse business. I could then make copies of it. After a few gyrations with her temperamental printer, we had success. My bank, U.S.Bank, then made 20 copies for me for free. Their service in this area has been a help many times. I called my Mom and she gave me addresses for family and a few friends. I still don't have access to my database, but this is a great start.

As for stamps, our ministry account had enough money in it to cover that cost. We mailed out 14 letters. During homeschooling on Tuesday Selah and I looked at Africa on the world map in relation to Tennessee. She is studying Africa in Classical Conversations this year. We then prayed about God granting us this trip to serve Him. Thank you, Lord, for this blessing of meeting our needs today.

Letter

This is probably more information than you want, but things are low and slow. I have written a support letter like our church recommended. It is now trapped in my computer. Currently, I have no way to print it. I have e-mailed it to five people. We also have our first deadline in October for the initial deposit. I have asked the Lord for his help. I need his creative ideas on how to solve my problems of printing, addresses (e-mail or postal) and stamps. We have a meeting at church on September 27 about the trip and the deposit. I'll keep you posted.

For a bit of history, I wrote the support letter in early June after attending my first mission trip meeting at the church. Woody and I both felt a desire to go on this trip and took that as direction from the Holy Spirit to investigate it. We also found out that the whole family was interested in going. We saw that as a green light to continue. At the meeting I felt doubt creeping in. The trip leader then warned us about that. I was shocked. The adversary had moved in that quickly. As a step of faith, I wrote the letter. The trip coordinator look it over and said it looked fine. I was ready to sent it out, but I needed money for stamps. Then life took a big turn and we moved.

Hello and Welcome

If you have found me here, you have received some type of communication about our family going on a mission trip to Africa in June of next year. Together we will all watch and see if the Lord does send our family, and if so, how he does it. We have many obstacles in our way but we believe we are to try. So here goes ....
