As of today, we are waiting on our "add in" members to receive their money so they can buy their plane tickets with ours. So please pray hard they will get it soon. I spoke with Jessica (the mississionary) the other day and she said to pray that they would find a church to worship in and with. Other than that we are at a waiting period and that is what we will do... Wait.

And then there were 6...

God is amazing... when we first started out on this journey to prepare for Reunion Island we had about 13 people that were going. Then we fell down to Dusty and I with one other couple. Well, we were okay with that. Because it says "where two or more are gathered, in the mist of them I will be". So, the other day a friend from Tennessee called and said that God had laid it on her heart that she was supposed to go with us to Reunion Island... what a joy it will be to have her along beside us. We are now preparing for a group of 6. This is so exciting, and it is amazing to see Christ work in His time not ours. Please keep her in your prayers for she is just now beginnning to raise money to be able to go with us. We are at cruch time with getting money together for her. So please get on your knees and pray for her and the rest of the group. Thanks so much for all your support! We love each of you dearly...

Waiting sometimes is so HARD

We are still praying that God will continue to send support letters our way. We have not received any letters in about 2 weeks. We are not troubled by this though because we know that God is in control of it all. Please continue to pray for us as we are seeking Christ's will for our lives. We have purchased our half-way point tickets... we just need our destination tickets now. PRAY, PRAY, PRAY!! We love you!

Purchase of one set of tickets!

Well we now have tickets from Memphis to Paris, France! We are waiting on more money to come in before we can buy the next set of tickets! So please pray hard that the money starts coming in. We are talking about Reunion EVERYDAY, we are so excited! So keep praying! Much Love~The Wises!

Prayer Request

Please pray that God would supply us with the money we need soon, so we can purchase our plane tickets before the price goes any higher. We have sent out several support letters but we have not received many back. Please pray that God would give me a peace about His perfect timing. Also, pray that God will bind Satan from this trip and that our team members will see that it is Satan that is working negatively and that Satan wants to win this trip. Pray that Dusty and I will be able to accomplish the task that we need to before the deadline.Thank you so much for your prayers they are greatly appreciated!

Finally Finished

We had our yardsale yesterday at Columbus Fairgrounds. It went pretty good! We began setting it up on Friday evening around 6:30 p.m. and at 4 a.m. we decided that we should try to rest for a little bit before 6 a.m. (Al, my father in law, took their camper out there so we would have somewhere to stay.) Well needless to say at 5:15 I got woke up by noise coming from outside, I looked out the camper and to my "What in the world are they thinking" there were about 5 people out there looking at our yardsale items with a flash light. WHAT!?!?!?! I was really loving my sleep, but oh well! We stayed steady all day until a little after 2. I mean we were truly steady ALL day, Praise the Lord! We were able to raise $1,142.00 which is good for yesterday. I am not sure as to what we will be doing next to raise money but we have a LONG way to go. Thanks to everyone that gave or bought! We really appreciate everything. If you were not able to give for the yardsale nor come to the yardsale and would like to donate money for our trip please contact me through email and let me know. My email address is rdw@muw.edu
Thanks, Rebecca

Update

Ok... where to being? Well, lets just say that things are really picking up and so much needs done that I have no idea as to where to begin. We had our first "real" team meeting this past Sunday! We had 8 commit to go with us and we have about 6 or 7 that are still praying what the Lord wants them to do. We are steadily trying to get yard sale items together and ready for next weekend. This past weekend we priced everything we have already received (again thanks if you have donated). What a chore that was. We will be heading to visit in Tennessee this weekend just to pick up more items! PRAISE JESUS! We are so excited about the yard sale. Please pray that it would be successful and that the weather would be beautiful! I pray that you are doing great! Remember we love you!
