Take Five!

The Water Labyrinth at Murray Street Mall | Perth, Australia

First, we're excited to announce that we're at 71% of our current monthly budget!  Praise God!  It's so exciting to see His continued provision on this journey.  Also, our time at the PCA General Assembly was wonderful-- we got to catch up with a lot of friends we don't get to see very often and we also made some new friends. 

Second, we're asking each of you to set an alarm on your devices to pray for us for 5 minutes on July 5th at 5pm for the following 5 requests.  

Prayer Requests:

• Pray that God will graciously provide the rest of our support so we can leave for Perth later this year.
• Pray for those that God is drawing together and to Himself in Perth to be a part of the church we're helping plant.
• Pray for the Hinkle family as they will most likely be moving in the next month or so to Australia. They've got 5 kids ranging in ages from 4-18!  It will be super exciting but also stressful.  Total travel time from States to Perth is in the neighborhood of 35 hours.  So please pray for smooth flights and fun adventures as they make their way to their new home down under!
• We'll be starting our Visa application process in August when we get back from our support raising travels.  Please pray that this process goes smoothly and that we'll be able to secure our work visas.
• Please pray for us as we begin saying goodbye to our families and friends.  Ask God to provide peace and patience for all of us and the capacity to express our love and thankfulness for each and every relationship.  The necessity of this prayer really hit home for Andy as he recently ended an 8 year run with one of his bands.  Each time we see our families we grow more aware that this will be one of the last times we'll see them for quite some time and that is harder than we EVER imagined.  But it is teaching us to treasure these moments.

Thanks for the prayers and we look forward to seeing how God moves this summer!
