Its all starting to become quite real for us now. I took a trailer load of stuff over to Masterton on Monday, so our place is looking quite empty. We've have our final life group before we go, had a great feed here last night. We were blessed to have our group pray for us.
It's really quite cool when people start to get behind vision. We've been so blessed with people encouraging us and promoting us. It's really exciting to be going off to do what God has for us, but it's also a little scary. So having people get behind us in prayer, friendship and financially is reassuring to us.
We are especially appreciating the way our church Wellington International Elim are getting behind us. Thanks so much! On Sunday Ps Mike, freshly back from a trip to USA and UK, gave us this shirt....
.... its so cool and we feel like that's what we are about. We may not know the specifics of what it looks like, but we are going to Love Japan, and are trusting that God will save many through us.
Abbie has been trucking away at work and feels a bit surreal about the whole thing. She finishes on Friday!
There's only a few things left to do before we go. A little bit of paperwork, finish packing the house, shift our stuff on Saturday, then church on Sunday.
If you're in the Wellington Region and keen to hear in person about what we are doing, Abbie and I are presenting at our church mission meeting this Sunday.
Time: 12.15pm, after the main service
Venue: Tennyson Room, Elim International Church
Cost: Freewill donation will be collected to cover the cost of the lunch. Cash or EFTPOS facilities available.
If you're keen to be on our email list or to sponsor us financially, please email us and we'll sort it out.
