Four Easy-Peasy Ways to Partner with Us

I love the fresh start of a new year!  It's like setting out on the first hike of spring or a putting on a brand new pair of socks - there's nothing quite like it.  The brainstorming and preparing for the next phase of our partner-development push has been in full swing around here for a couple of months and we are happy to be able to share some of our  most recent progress with you.  

Where We Are 
Right now we are sitting at 58% funding of our monthly expenses! Our sending expenses were satisfied in September (for more information on monthly vs. sending expenses click 
here). We have finished all of WorldVenture required reading for a total of 15 hefty books (reports soon to come Cheryl!). 


Where We Are HeadedWe have developed a workshop for small groups that helps singles and families discover their God-given purpose and craft usable mission statements  for life.  Part of this workshop includes sharing our family's journey of drafting a family mission statement and landing on our life's calling: ministry to TCKs (What's a TCK? Click here to read more).  After hours of stuffing and sticking we have our take-home materials ready, and we are counting down the days 'til go time. The plan is to give this presentation of our ministry to well over 20 groups of people over the course of the next few months. Additionally, we are currently creating an e-booklet which will accompany our workshop and which we will also make available to those of you not in the Cheyenne area.  We can't say too much just yet, but we will share the title: "Carpe Aeternitatem: Developing and Living out Your Divine Purpose, Everyday." Fist pump!  

What You Can Do
As you know there is no "I" in team.  There really aren't any useful words in team except the word "tea" which doesn't help us much here.  The point is, we need you to get involved and here are four ways you can get off the bench:
Subscribe:
If you're getting these e-mails, you're already doing this one, so good for you! Look at you, team player!
Send:
Whether through cash gifts or a monthly/regular pledge all of your generous support goes towards sending us and keeping us on the mission field and in the classroom at ICSB. If you need a reminder, we are with WorldVenture and you can give 
here.
Share:
This is where you can make a big impact with minimal effort.  We always need to get the word out to more people so head over to our
 facebook page and give us a like, share our blog posts, pictures and websit
e information on your timeline and with your friends.  If you don't do facebook, you can always forward emails to people who might be interested. Don't forget word of mouth too.  Shoot us an e-mail if you think you could use a stack of our business card, brochures or magnets to pass to friends, colleagues and fellow public-transportation riders. 
Supplicate:
This fancy word simply means pray for us!  To go to Hungary with sufficient funds but insufficient prayer will only result in disaster. We ask you to bring our family and our requests before God as the persistent widow in Luke 18:1-7 .  You can find our current prayer requests 
here.
Thank you, thank you for your partnership! We cannot wait to see what God will do in the next few months! Stay tuned for updates!
