2014 is here, which means this is the year we will be selling our house, quitting my job and moving to Uganda.  2014 will be a huge year for us and should prove to be full of excitement and sadness at the same time.  We have so much to be thankful for how the Lord has provided for us in 2013 and we wait with anticipation of the mighty works He will accomplish this year as we make our transition to Africa.

June will be here before we know it and we have a ton of work to do to prepare for our transition to Uganda.  I remember last year when we talked to people about our initial trip, November seemed like some time in the future that seemed so far off.  Well, November came before we knew it and I’m confident that June will be the same way.  Proverbs 16:3 says, “Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established” and that is what we are doing with the work we are doing in preparation for our move.

The first thing we need this year is to sell our home.  It is currently in contract with a close date set for January 17th.  We would love prayers about this because we have run into a snag with the buyers having difficulty getting the roof insured.  Please pray that they are able to secure insurance and that the house can close on the 17th.  We need the proceeds from the house by the end of January to send to the family in Uganda that is living in our future home to purchase the contents of the home and their van.  They need the funds by then to purchase items for their new home in the U.S.

The next thing we have to work on is fundraising.  We currently have 50% of our monthly needs and 50% of our startup funds raised.  We have $2,300/month left to raise with 23 weeks left before we move.  Please be in prayer for our fundraising efforts.  If the Spirit moves you to be a part of our financial support team, please visit www.heart4uganda.com/donate to learn how to go about joining our team.  We cannot do our mission work without help from people both prayerfully and financially.
