Short Trip, long-term goals




Our team mates George and Carrie Vera were offered a plane ticket to visit Leipzig in order to get some first hand impressions, meet the pastors, and get some photos all to help them with their fundraising. Praise the Lord for this opportunity!

George is flying to Leipzig tomorrow (Monday) and getting back next Sunday. The pastor of the EFG Jacobstrasse (our future church home) is meeting George at the airport. George has several meetings with church leaders and program attendance scheduled. Please, pray for a safe trip and a great relationship building time.



George and Carrie are still in the beginning of their fundraising and need your prayers as they approach area churches as well as friends and family about supporting them. Joel and I are grateful for your prayers for us as well as we approach more people about financially supporting us. We are currently at 28% of monthly support and 35% of one-time support raised.

As George is leaving for Germany for a week, all of us are looking forward to the day the Lord will send all of us to Leipzig long-term. We can't go without your support. Here are some ways people are already supporting us:
