Well today is Christmas day! So Merry Christmas everyone!! I must say that I am seriously stressed out today. I have been waiting and waiting on our friends to get their tickets but they have not gotten any money. So because of our waiting I have let the price of our tickets go up 200 dollars. I am at a lost as to what I am supposed to do. I could just scream. I hate pressure like this. So please pray that I would have a peace about everthing

Wishful

Do you ever wish you could figure God out? Or do you wish that the plan God has was clearer? I know I do, especially now. We, as most of you know, have already bought our plan tickets to Paris (which is our half way point) but we were waiting on Brad and Emily in order to purchase our connecting flight. Well, when I first started looking at the connecting flights they were about 1200 well while having to wait they went down to 876.00... but they have now gone back up to 1,022.00. Please pray that we will be able to purchase the tickets soon, and that the price will go down. I love each and every one of you. KEEP PRAYING!!!

Up-date

Whoever says there is no God is crazy and lost beyond all measure. God has been revealing Himself to not only me but to others in our small group. As for Emily and Brad Bibb (the last two that were added) they have really been experiencing God first hand. When Dusty and I first started beginning to get this trip together I felt Emily was supposed to go but when I asked her if she would be interested in going she said, "it sounds fun but I just don't feel as though I am supposed to go"... after much praying, God laid it on her heart to go with us. Not only did He lay this Reunion Mission trip on her heart He has also laid Missions in general on her heart. Praise the Lord. God is amazing and is doing great things and will continue to do great things throughout our trip and even after. Sean and Jessica Reagan (the missionaries) felt God laid it on them to support us in coming to Reunion to be with them. NEVER in all my mission trips has anyone sent money back to the States to help us get there. God is so great!

As of now, we are going to purchase our tickets from Paris to St. Denis on December 15th (hopefully). Brad and Emily have a long way to go in raising money but we have a God that is capable of doing anything.

PRAYER REQUEST:
*Please pray that God would send money for Brad and Emily
*Pray that God would prepare the hearts of the people we will come in contact with
*Please pray that we will be in HIS will only with all of our doings, here and there.
*Pray for Sean and Jessica along with their two beautiful children.

Thank you so much for your support and love. We could never thank you all enough!
Love, Rebecca

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!
