Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Here's a quick update before the Christmas craziness begins!
We have moved!
Christmas cookies are welcome at:
96 E Center St
Ephraim, UT 84627
We are extremely blessed to live here by some dear old friends and we love our new place! Thank you to everyone who helped us with the move! With this rather mild fall we are having, Moriah is enjoying the SWINGS in the backyard. Jason is enjoying being out in the country and Jenn just loves the fact that there’s a coffee shop RIGHT NEXT DOOR!
New departure goal and quick update!
Our target departure date is now July of 2013. Based on the official and verbally committed pledges we have right now, we are over 50% of our monthly pledged support! Praise the Lord! We are asking God for more monthly partners. God has surprised us by adding old friends, new friends, and friends we have never even met to join us in reaching the Thai/Isaan people with the love of Christ!
After prayer and much discussion, we decided to drop our Member status with OMF (our mission organization) and change to Associate. Basically, what that means is that our first term in Thailand will be for 3 years instead of 4, and we only save for a 3 month home assignment instead of a year. So now we are raising funds for 39 months instead of 60 months. We will still be in language school for a full year and plan to serve in Thailand for long term. After our first term with OMF, we will decide if we will reapply as Members with the organization or join another mission agency.
Kroger cards
Thank you to everyone who is using a Kroger card to purchase your groceries! If you do not have one and would like one, please let us know!
Thankful
We are so thankful for the Abundant Life that Jesus promises anyone who believes in Him and the abundant life He has given us personally. Doing missions, raising support, making disciples on the field, raising a kid…it is all HIS WORK. We are in an awesome place of just trusting in Him to meet our needs. Not a bad place to be in!
Prayer
1. Please be in prayer for the missionaries who will be sharing about Jesus in the schools in Thailand this Christmas!
2. More partners on our team!
3. Jason is speaking at Roosevelt Christian Assembly this weekend, please pray that they'll be encouraged by his message!
4. For the country of Thailand (use graphic below if you would like!)
Have fun celebrating Jesus this month with family and friends!
-Jason, Jenn and Moriah
