Moving Forward

My how time flies!

We are now in the 3rd month of raising support. (and as you know, our goal is to leave June 15th.) So, we have 2 months and 22 days to reach 100%. HOWEVER... we are already at 38%!!! Only 62% more to go thanks to all of you who have committed to giving to our ministry financially. For those of you who are still considering supporting us, our biggest need for moving forward is finding monthly supporters. 

*** If 30 more people offer to give an average of $50 per month, we would be able to leave in June!***

Just some other updates...

• We are planning on living in San Pedro de Marcoris & working in several bateys (a.k.a. suger cane villages) right outside Ramon Santana. The names we have so far are La Campina & Lima. Kurt & I were actually able to see these bateys when we visited the Dominican in February. You can view those photos by clicking HERE. 
• Also, we have not told our employers yet about making the move to ministry. Our reason for holding off is that we're waiting to see if we can raise the support by June 15th. (Freedom International Ministries requires that their missionaries be at 90% before they can leave.) If we are unable to raise everything in time, we will continue our support raising & go month-to-month after that.

If anyone has any questions about the ministry or our plans for raising support, please call us or email! We really appreciate all the positive feedback we have received. But, we want to make sure that we answer your questions. We realize that the letter we sent may still leave some of you aprehensive.

I think that's all for now. :)
