They're Going. . . Again

26 days. 
There are 26 days until they leave. 
My farmer, farm boy and college girl are getting ready. 
Shots, paper work and prayer. 
Knees bent low as they trust for each piece of this journey. 
They're going because they desire to serve. 
The skills they use each day here on the farm yearning to be used for a people in need. 
Arms aching to hold those who long to be held. 


So, on the wings of prayer, they will go. 


To a people and land loved deeply. 

It is here the effects of chemo and radiation faded away as my farmer gave what he had to the least of these. 
He responded in faith to the desire to serve. 
It is this same response that is bringing him and 9 others back
 to this beautiful land. 

It is because of you, your prayers and support that this group is equipped to be the hands and feet of the One who gave all so we can live. 

We wait with hope and expectation in this Season of Advent. 
Hope of what is to come. 
It is this hope that spurs us on. 
Death, cancer; they can attempt to steal our joy. 
They can try to remove from us the Promise given. 
They will not. 

Isaiah 54:17
no weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and this is their vindication from me," declares the LORD.

This Promise spurs us on. 
Even in the face of adversity. 
We bow low before the Kings of Kings. 
We're stepping out in faith that this is the path He has for our family. 
We pray to that end that you will join us. 

Here are 3 Ways that you can give this Holiday Season. 

Commit to pray for this team. 
 There is nothing we are able to do with out a deep and sure base of prayer. 
We are not above stepping back if this is not all of God. 
We are His servants and we humbly seek His direction. 
There is much to pray for.
The team.

Finances

If you would like to donate any of these items
 you may bring them to the farm. 

Thank you to all who blessed us already with items. 

Giving
Finally, we are still not fully funded. 
We are trusting for each and every need we have. 
We know that God is able. 

Ephesians 3:20
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us,
