Prayer Letter — June 2025

Dear Pastor and Church,

I can't express the joy we have in our hearts seeing all that God has done for us on deputation. As much as we would have loved to go to the field immediately, it was very important for us to go through deputation. We have learned so much in the process. He has tested our faith, patience, and understanding.

We are very excited to announce We have hit 90% of support! We have set a date to go to the field for September 2nd! PRAISE THE LORD!! We are very excited but also a little nervous about this step. We have been praying for this for a while and to see God take care of us through our traveling and preparation has been a blessing.

We can't thank everyone enough for the prayers and support. We are blessed to have been able to be at the churches that God has for us. We have been able to build good relationships with many of the churches, and Lord willing be able to continue to build our relationship with all of our churches. We desire to communicate with everyone in the best and most effective way possible. We desire to be a blessing and an encouragement to your church as you have been to us. There will be fruit that will abound to your account for your sacrifice and faithfulness.

I took a trip to Portugal at the end of April. Our visa required that we have housing set up for when we get to the field. The Lord gave us a place that we started renting. We are very excited that we have a place to call home. We are looking forward to being in Portugal! Even more than just the coffee, we are excited to see what God is going to do.

Please pray as we finish deputation. We plan on being home the last three weeks of August to get things together and spend time with our home church before we leave. We have 15 churches left on our schedule. Please be in prayer for those meetings and that God will use our family to be a blessing. Please also be in prayer that we get to 100% support by September.

God Bless!
