Important Prayer Request

Now that we are officially part of H2H it is time to start raising funding for our ministry in Romania. We will soon be sending out support letters to friends and family, and posting the letter here on this blog. So we are asking for much prayer that God will provide the funding we need quickly so we can start our ministry in April of 2009. This is an aggressive goal but we are putting all of our trust in God that he will work it out. We recently read through a book by a missionary in India and her main saying was: "When God guides He provides." We know God has guided us to minister to the orphans of Romania, so we know he will provide for all our needs.

Another important prayer request is that we can partner with the Reformed Church in America in this ministry. We have a meeting with some of their mission executives next Monday, Nov 24. We don't really know what to expect but we are praying that they will be open to this idea. It would mean a lot if we were able to do this, as it would open the doors to all of the RCA congregations, as well as allow us to receive more support from our own church. Also, if we were able to speak in many more churches we could introduce them to H2H and seek people to come on short term mission trips to Romania. Short term trips are a big part of H2H's ministry to the orphans as they bring in lots of people to show the orphans love. Being able to partner with the RCA would be beneficial in multiple ways, so we ask for your prayers that God works this out.
