The reason...

Over the last two weeks, I've been praying that God would send $3,000 by tuesday. It hasn't happened yet. He did, however, provide in miraculous ways. I'm now at $2500 in support. God doesn't work off my timeline, he's got everything under his control, and I'm seeing that now more than ever. As difficult as this support raising process is, I'm so thankful that I've been given the opportunity to experience it. I'm actually glad that it is working this way and not coming more easily, because through it God is breaking my desires for control. He's showing me once again "who" this is all about.

This week, I've also seen the reason WHY we're going more clearly than ever. If you have wondered why we're going to Australia instead of a completely unreached people group, I would encourage you to check this article out. My team leader emailed this article to us to provide fuel for our prayer life and vision, I hope it does the same for you:

Australia needs the gospel as bad as any other nation. I'm praying that God would work in miraculous ways to overcome doubts that people have. I'm praying that he would begin a good work there this summer that would carry on for years to come and have eternal ramifications. I truly believe that he will. It may not look like what we're expecting, and we may not initially see the benefit or the fruit; but God's word doesn't come back void. He will bring the good work he's started in Australia to completion, and I firmly believe that he will allow our team to play a part in that. I can't wait. Thanks for your prayers
