pray for us... May 1/09

Colossians 4:2-3
Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving. At the same time, pray also for us...
A number of you have asked how you can be praying for us through these next few months. Well, I'm GLAD you asked! Please be praying for these four big things:

First, for all the details of another transition. Having just walked through an international move it kind of feels like this should be WAY easier but there are still so many pieces it is overwhelming. Please pray for wisdom as we navigate our children through this move... new school, friends and community... again!


Second, for leaving well. Though we have only been in San Diego for a short spell this team has been our family for much longer. Please pray for good goodbyes. Also be praying for us as we navigate releasing our work here and beginning our new work in Portland. It is vital that we honor both ministries in this time.


Third, for our home search. Once again we are looking for a house to move into... but we are praying all the same prayers. We are looking to be close to the school, close to our team(Jeff and Erin), and with the "right" price tag. This is big for us because we are trying VERY hard to get our monthly expenses down AND we are hopeful because it is a buyers market (as you all know).

Fourth, for our finances. So much has changed in the last year with the economy and the shift in the dollar that we are in the place of most missionaries (and non-missionaries for that matter) - trying to make every penny count. Please continue to hold our finances up to God as you think of us... we are confident in His provision!


Thank you again for all your prayers and encouragement. Our strength is truly renewed as we call upon the Lord together with you our friends and family. We have so much to be thankful for... including all of you!


grace and peace,

Tim
