Less Than a Month

We are leaving in less than a month! The countdown is on! We are packing, moving stuff, meeting with people, sharing our story, and seeing friends and family.  Our house is SUCH a MESS!!! :) 

We are excited about:
Doing what we have been talking about for over a year now
Reconnecting with people in Uganda
Setting up a new home and life together
Teaching English to the Missionary Kids (Cody)
Setting up programs and plans for the orphans who have Special Needs (Katie)

We are anxious and praying about:
Raising all of the funds in time
Adjusting to new situations
Making new relationships
Saying goodbye to people we love
Getting everything done to move in time

Through this process, we came up with what we felt called to do, which we summarized as "Serve Encourage, and Educate." Then we chose scripture to support each part of this summary. Thought I would share...

 Family Scripture:

Galatians 5:13-14- 

13 For you have been called to live in freedom, my brothers and sisters. But don’t use your freedom to satisfy your sinful nature. Instead, use your freedom to serve one another in love. 14 For the whole law can be summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”[a]

Serve:

 Philippians 2:2-5

Then make me truly happy by agreeing wholeheartedly with each other, loving one another, and working together with one mind and purpose. Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too. You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.
Encourage:
Hebrews 10:24-

24 Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works.

Educate:

Titus 2:7-8
And you yourself must be an example to them by doing good works of every kind. Let everything you do reflect the integrity and seriousness of your teaching. Teach the truth so that your teaching can’t be criticized. Then those who oppose us will be ashamed and have nothing bad to say about us.
Financial Status:
We are still in need of $560 in monthly commitments to be fully funded. (6 people donating $100 monthly, 12 People donating $50 monthly, 23 people donating $25 monthly)
