February 2025
Last year ended with us finding ourselves a bit tired and in what we call “survival mode”—Just going from one meeting to the next and not taking much time to enjoy the little things in the in-between. Though we continue to present in new churches weekly, we have made time to do little things, such as: read for enjoyment, take walks, try out local coffee shops, and make good use of any hotel stay that has a pool. There is much to enjoy when you take time to be thankful for the little moments in life! Nicole is now in the third trimester of her pregnancy which means we travel slower than we are used to, so that she can stop and stretch her legs. We continue to work towards toilet training Michal. Though being on the road and in other people’s homes makes this a little challenging, Michal is doing great and getting the idea of things.
The start of the new calendar year also meant that many churches we had visited in 2024 were voting on their new budget. Praise the Lord, we have received many happy emails, phone calls, and texts from churches and individuals who are now not only prayer partners, but also financial supporters. Since the start of January our support has increased by 20 percent! In January and February, we presented in and met with believers in MI, WI, IA, NE, GA, WA, FL, and NC. We also had the joy of getting to know a church plant in Nebraska. How encouraging that church planting is happening not just overseas, but also here in the U.S. We hope the new year has been filled with moments of thankfulness and encouragement for you as well.
Prayer & Praises:
New Prayer and Financial Partners: We are excited to let you know that our committed monthly support has increased to 77% from 57% in our last letter. Thank you to all those who have had a part in getting us this far.
Spiritual Encouragement: Missionaries on deputation don’t often get to celebrate the Lord’s Supper, something we had the privilege of participating in with our home church in January. Wow, what a gift it was to remember what Jesus did for us on by giving His own blood and body for us on the cross.
Housing: We are still looking for a place to stay in Wisconsin when the baby comes in May. Our hope is to spend about 2 to 3 months in a place of our own to get used to being a family of four. We would also like to spend some time with our sending church before we finish deputation. If you know anyone between the Milwaukee and Madison area who would be interested in renting out a place from May-July please reach out to us.
