An Update of Where We're at:
Under the wise counsel of our pastors, we've taken the last couple of months to step back and rest, dedicating our time and focus to learning and ministering. It's been a blessed time, and we've learned a lot about the necessity of rest! For these couple of months, we've really stepped back from raising support. And as our projected leave date of Summer of 2012 draws nearer, we're often tempted to ask ourselves if this is really possible. Until we realize how ridiculous that question is!
We don't doubt God's faithfulness. He has proven Himself faithful to us time and time again. We doubt only our own faithfulness. Will we be faithful to take up the ministry He has set before us at this time, which is to be advocates of the movement He will spark in Rome. Our task at hand is not to raise the necessary funds, but to be faithful in bringing others alongside of us in this ministry, and pray the Lord works mightily in their hearts that they will support this ministry with their prayers and finances. We desire to see a dynamic system of ministry in which the body of Christ is highlighted by the working together of, and support of, His people.
Please pray for us, that we would be faithful and take the steps necessary to fulfill this task. Please pray that we would have boldness.
We're still at a resting point as we approach Christmas, taking advantage of this time to rest, learn and minister--three things that will be crucial in Rome. Please pray that the Lord will use this time to rejuvenate us for our ministry in the near future of raising support.
