Ready, Set, God says GO!

 

It all Started on Monday, July 5^th, 2021 at the BMM Family Conference. When we arrived, our family was sitting at about 93% support and were anticipating a conversation with our new field administrator, Steve, to start to formulate a timeline for transition to Syracuse. We have a meeting with him and the Jewells on Tuesday (July 6^th) evening and through the conversation we learned that Steve and the Jewells thought it would be good for us to move to Syracuse ASAP to get involved in the ministry this fall and finish our support raising there! The approval process was that I needed to talk with my sending pastor, Pastor Dave, to get his ok on the plan and then Steve would get in touch with the administration for final approval. He said that this may take some time.

The next day (July 7^th), We met with our pastor for dinner and he was totally behind the idea without question! I approached Steve again so he could get things going with the administration. On Thursday morning (July 8^th), He came to us and said that we were given the ok to move as soon as we could find housing! This threw our world into a spin! We never thought we would leave the conference looking to move to Syracuse right away! Also, during the week, we also saw our support slowly rise to just under 96%... God was at work! As if that was not enough, we received a letter Thursday afternoon from an individual from a supporting church that was sent on Monday (July 5^th) before we knew about moving. In this letter, the gentleman explained that God placed it on his mind to help in our move to Syracuse and gave us a check for moving, $1,000!

Since the conference, about 2 weeks, God has increased our support to about 99%! The story is not finished yet, we are still waiting on God to provide housing in the midst of a very difficult housing market. After all the God has orchestrated in the past 3 weeks, I believe it is a matter of time before God opens the door for a house in Syracuse! In the meantime, we pack and prepare while we look at housing  and wait on HIM.
