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!

God is so Faithful!

WOW!!! Is really all I have to say right now. We are collecting items for a yard sale to raise money for our mission trip and we have had an overwhelming response from several of our friends. I will try and post pictures soon of everything we have received so far. I am so excited about the yard sale, what excites me the most is that I have been working on it for about 2 weeks now, and that is amazing for me, because I am the worlds worst procrastinator. Praise God this is one thing I am not procrastinating on! I have spoke with the owner of the Columbus Fairgrounds and he said our date will be on October 11th! I will keep you posted on how well it goes! Thanks for visiting this site, and keep us in your prayers! God Bless!!!

Well, lately we have been extremely busy. We had some previous exchange students come stay with us for a week. We had a wonderful visit with them. Now, we are planning planning planning for Reunion Island. Please keep us in your prayers. There is so much to be done and we have no idea as to where we should start. Dusty started this past week with leading a Bible study for high school seniors. He said it went really well. He is very excited about this opportunity. I have been doing school! And that is a job in itself. This semester has been the best so far. I love everything about it. We are doing great, and love you. If you would like to come visit we would love for you too.

Africa-France it's the same right?

For a while I thought that Reunion was apart of Africa... it's NOT!! haha So for all of you who thought Africa because I thought Africa are wrong, sorry. It's a part of France! God is doing amazing things already for this trip. Please keep praying!
