COUNTDOWN TO GUATEMALA

We are excited as our missions trip to Guatemala draws near. One week from Wednesday we will be heading off on our Central American adventure with our 7 year old son Noah. Perhaps equally as adventurous is the fact that our two little ones Reagan (3) and Jackson (1 1/2) will be remaining in New Jersey with Grandmom, Aunt Julie, and Nana and Pop-Pop. This could be problematic as Reagan is in a constant state of asking "Where's mommy?" if Jaci even dares to go into the other room or run to the store for a few minutes. A whole week without Mommy is going to be a challenge for our little princess, so please pray for the kids and our family that will be staying with them.

So far God has provided a good amount of money for our trip. We are still a little short on what we need, but most of our expenses are being covered by our generous friends, family and church. When God called us to make this trip, it was a financial impossibility, but we took a step in faith and God has supplied our needs.

I am attempting to figure out this blogging thing as our hope is to blog every day from the mission field with updates and pictures of our trip. In the meantime, please pray for the following:

Safety during our trip
God's favor on our trip
Health for our entire family
Bill, Jaci and Noah to be prepared spiritually, mentally, and physically for the trip
Jaci specifically for her MS not to act up while on the trip
the kids and school in Guatemala where we will be serving
Reagan and Jackson back in the states

We can't thank you all enough for the love and support you have given our family and for all of the generous prayer and financial support you have given to this trip. May God bless you for your sacrifices and faithfulness!

God Bless!

WORD OF GOD SPEAK!

"This is how we know what love is: JESUS CHRIST LAID DOWN HIS LIFE FOR US. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers...Dear children, let us NOT love with words or tongue but with ACTIONS, and in TRUTH...And this is His command: to believe in the name of His Son, JESUS CHRIST, and to LOVE one another as HE commanded us." 1 John 3:16,18,23
