After much prayer and discussion Julie and I have decided that it would be best if she not go on the Israel/Jordan trip and just I go. We fell very strongly that it may be hard on the boys for the both of us to leave for 3 weeks and for them not to have either mommy or daddy around. We feel this decision is a wise decision and will have a more positive impact on our family and the boys.
So with this change of plans our financial goals have obviously changed, our financial needs for the trip is now $5350.00. We want to thank everyone for all their prayers and support for this educational and spiritual trip, and we want to thank those that have been so generous in helping make this trip a reality. With the help of our friends and families we have been able to raise $875.74 which is just over 16% of our goal. Thanks everyone for your support.
We were very excited to have sent in the deposit for the trip last week and was able to talk to Dr. Scott Preissler (the professor planning and leading the stewardship tour) and he is very excited about the work that God is going to do in the hearts of those who go (I believe there are around 50 individuals going) and the positive impact it will have on our Christian walks. So please most importantly keep this trip in your prayers.
We love you so very much and thank you again for your love and support during this exciting time in our lives.
