Things have been crazy here in Texas. That’s for sure. We are working hard to get out support letters, emails, etc. We have sent out probably 70 some info packets to five or six different states. We have had very little response so far. We aren’t really discouraged about this so much. We definitely believe that God is sovereign over all creation and that all the money in the world belongs to Him. If He has called us, He will provide what we need to do what He has called us to do. We believe that! It does take considerable time to print and put together each package though so we are trying to not to use all our time preparing these.
Our house is the other deal. We had a potential buyer that we were praying and praying that they would buy it. They didn’t. This is where I was tempted to doubt God. And I did. But not for long. I know that God has a plan. I know that. I and trust that. Our mortgage is paid until the end of July. We don’t have the money to pay for it after that. God knows that if something is going to happen, He has to do it. The world would say that there is no way in this market our house will sell. I want so badly for God to show his supreme power and sovereignty by selling the house. I would love for our families to see God do that. He can do it!
The whole situation has been so humbling for Kate and I. We live in Texas. We can’t do anything at all about the situation. We are so dependent on our friends and family to take care of things for us. I don’t know if y’all know just how thankful we are for you. All of you. Whether you have cleaned or painted or weeded or cut the grass or prayed or whatever - we are so thankful for you.
So that’s that. School has been great. This week we have been studying some of the central doctrines of Roman Catholicism. It’s been very interesting. If you don’t know us, we are Protestants. We believe in justification by grace alone through faith alone. We believe that Jesus’ work on the cross was an efficacious, finished work.
The other two families on our team have been gone for a few weeks now and we are looking forward to their return so that we can continue team building. They have been off raising support and visiting family. November 12 is the cutoff date for having our support raised to go to PNG in January of 2010. If we do not have our support by then, our departure will be delayed until August. We know that God will provide in His timing. Till next time.
Love,
Scott
