House, Support, Interviewed.....Oh My!

We have a purchase offer!!!!!!! We are very excited to be at this stage. Please pray that everything goes smoothly with the selling of our house. It seems so strange to actually get to this point after 8 months of taking over a dozen prospective buyers through our house.

We are currently at 45% monthly support and we need to be at 75% support before we can board the M/V Africa Mercy. We are praying for 36 more families/individuals who will commit to $25 a month so that we can go.

We have the full amount for our plane fare and our training costs but we are still welcoming one time gifts! Any money that is given for us will be used to supplement our monthly support.

We were interviewed for our local newspaper last week and I am nervously awaiting the article. I am hoping it will be a true representation of who we are and what we are trying to do.

The girls want you all to know that they are very excited about going on the ship when we can finally go. I drew a thermometer on a piece of paper and hung it on the wall so that they would have a visual for when we would have enough support to leave.
