Youth for Christ Update

We are nearly 2 1/2 months away from starting our adventure with Youth for Christ in Iowa, so I wanted to give a bit of an update to our friends and family.

Over the past couple of months we hosted a couple of dessert parties.  These were a great opportunity for us to share "our story" and how God led us to join with Youth for Christ.  We also were able to share a video of the building that will be the YFC building in Hawarden, Iowa.  Below is the link to that video!

As for our support raising...we are doing great - with just a little ways to go!  Our monthly support goal is $1366/month and we have raised about $1166.  Our cash budget was $6000 and we have raised somewhere around $12000!  WOW!!  Praise God!  This has been an amazing stretch of our faith and an increase in our faith.  Tom will start drawing a paycheck from YFC on 1 July, and we'd really like to be able to say we met our goals, so we will keep praying towards this.

In a little less than a month we will be closing on our house!  We are waiting on our VA loan to be approved still, but we are confident it will all go through without a problem.  It has been a HUGE blessing to be able to live with my parents in ND.  So many great memories for us and the boys.  I am not even sure I want to start with listing it all because with so many words people could get bored ;-) 

Here's to the next few weeks of extreme busyness!  Looking forward to posting more answers to our prayers in the near future.
