God is Faithful

We have officially raised God has officially raised 10% of our budget!  What a praise!  Thank you to those who have answered God's prompting to give financially!  Thank you to those of you who are praying for us along this journey!  It sounds a bit daunting to say that we have 90% left to raise--but I am encouraged despite the number.  While we are doing the legwork of "partnership development," God is doing the heartwork.  As long as we are being faithful to our Lord, He will be faithful in return.  He has called us to this task--raising prayer and financial support for this OneStory mission and going to fulfill it--and He will see us through.  What Love!  What Hope!  And what a Great God we serve!  Can I get an AMEN and a HALLELUJAH!?!

Why we must Go!

^"For “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. But how can they call on Him to save them unless they believe in Him? And how can they believe in Him if they have never heard about Him? And how can they hear about Him unless someone tells them?"  Rom. 10:13-14
 
In the world today there are approximately 7,000 languages and dialects.  Of those, 2,200 languages do not have one single verse of Scripture.  That means 350,000,000 people have no way of knowing John 3:16.  (To put that in perspective: if you laid those 350 million people head to toe around the equator of the earth, they would wrap around it over 14 times) 
 
    That breaks the heart of God!  That breaks our heart too!  And I hope it breaks your heart as well!
 
Salvation has been offered to every one of those 350 million, but how can they be saved unless "someone tells them?"  Lindsey and I want to follow God into the darkness of Guyana, South America to work with the Carib people.  The Carib people are an unreached people group living on the Guyana/Venezuela border.  We will be translating 30-50 stories from the Bible into the Carib language.  They will be able to hear of the saving love of God for the first time!!!!!!!
 
Please partner with us! 
1.  We need a lot of prayer.  You can click the link at the top of this page and sign up to be a prayer partner.  Remember, "...The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and wonderful results." James 5:16
2.  We need financial support.  You can click the link at the top to sign up to be a financial supporter.  We have to raise 100% of our support before we can go to Guyana.  This is a huge task but the great thing is, OUR GOD IS BIGGER!
3.  If you feel God leading you to become a missionary, we would love to talk and pray with you.  Don't just settle for the American Dream, God's dream awaits those who seek Him.
 
 
In short, we must go!  God has put the call on us and we are answering!  Thank you for being apart of this special time in our lives!

Our Equip Family

Equip Training

Jason & I are currently in Orlando, FL training to be missionaries with Wycliffe Bible Translators.  We are one week down and one to go.  All the people we've talked to, the presentations and stories that we've seen and heard, have really fueled a passion in my heart for Bible translation.  I've learned that there are over 400 English translations of the Bible, but there are still thousands of languages that don't have even one single verse of Scripture in their language!  What a precious gift we have been given in having the Word of God in our own heart language that we know and understand.  I'm excited to be a part of taking the Word of God to the Carib people in Guyana, South America!  It will definitely be a God-sized adventure as He provides all our needs along the way! 

Crazy Terradacktel Birds!
