We purchased plane tickets!!! :)

Hey guys,
we have some very good news!! This past week we purchased our plane tickets to Italy!!! 

Praise the LORD!! Scott found some good deals on the tickets. We have a 10 hour layover in London, but what is 10 hours when we will be ON OUR WAY FINALLY!!! :)

Our departure date: JULY 9

We are flying into Hungary first, where we are gonna spend a few weeks with Edina's family. We haven't seen them for years! :)
Then later this summer we are gonna drive down to Southern Italy, to the town of PETACCIATO, our new home. :)

Some pictures of the town:

We are renting an apartment from the only Evangelical Christian family in town.
Here is a picture of our future apartment (street view):

it's the one with the little wooden shed in the front

Needless to say, we are stoked!! We cannot wait to start our new life and ministry in Petacciato, Italy!!

We are praising God for His amazing provision, for raising up our support team and providing for our needs!

Thank you Thank you Thank you for everyone who joined our team!!! We are honored and humbled!

God bless you all!!

Getting closer

We are so so so excited to see The Lord raising up our support team. Last week I, Edina had a little meltdown, call it discouragement, losing focus etc. I was quite out of it, to say the least. 

But The Lord, again, showed us his faithfulness which never changes. 

The following days God brought us 3 new supporter families! And them yesterday one too!!

We are so grateful and humbled...

We jumped from needing six hundred and some dollars monthly support to 

274 dollars! 

We are moving out of this house on June 20.

We have a speaking engagement at a church on July 7.

If everything goes well we are planning to take off right after that. 

Please pray for us! 

Thank you!

After a rough and little bit discouraging weekend it is so refreshing to remember that the Lord is still providing and raising up our support team, even when we hit rough patches.
Thank you I. Family!!!
Thank you H. Family!!!
Thank you L. Family!!!
We are truly honored and thankful!!!
