Wow, 5 months have gone by and I have not touched my blog. Busy? Very busy! It seems like winter would be a great time to update a blog, but we found ourselves cutting firewood, helping friends cut and stack firewood and basically hunkering down and staying warm. We've been studying "Gripped by the Greatness of God" on Friday nights and "40 Days of Love" on Sunday nights, while tearing through Colossians during Sunday school. Well fed? Very well fed!
Much has transpired since water training in October. DeepWater Faith has provided building materials for a housing project in Guatemala, and are sending site-surveys for water purification with a team from NECC for 3 possible sites. We hope to get that information back in the next month or two. Please pray that needs are uncovered. We have also funded a purifier that is being installed in the Dominican Republic in March. Our new church, River Valley Christian Church is putting together a mission team to help direct the mission efforts in the church. This is a church committed to supporting and sending out long and short term missionaries in and out of the states. Please pray for God's guidance for the team, so we listen to His will for us.
DWF has also seen two missionary families head out into the field full time in 2009. It is so cool to watch them daily through blogs, facebook and twitter and know that they are serving in the name of Jesus with every reading. I pray for them every day and know that all 7 of them are building the Kingdom with their incredible way of loving on people. If I ever wish I were a fly on the wall, Aaron usually posts a video or pictures, so I am able to be. I appreciate their sacrifices and pray that all of their needs are met, as we are all learning to live on less.
If anyone actually reads this blog, I apologize for my absence. I promise to do better. (Ecclesiastes 5:4)
