We wanted to update everyone on our status as far as support and how things are looking regarding when we will attend final training and be leaving for Indonesia. January 2nd is a big day! MAF will be evaluating our support status and will either give us the okay to attend the required ten weeks of final training starting in February, or we will be delayed for another several months and attend the summer training. We have been planning on the February training and are getting so close to our goal, so please pray with us that our support comes in and that we'll be approved to attend in February. This has been a long road for us and we are so ready to get to Indonesia!
We are now at 82% of our monthly goal and still need 52 new ongoing monthly partners of $25 per month (quarterly or annual commitments are okay too) to be fully funded and ready to go and we won't be able to board a plane until we are at 100% of our monthly amount required.
Just a reminder that
we have reached 100% of our one-time amount (praise God!) and any further one-time donations will go to the MAF general fund, OR one-time amounts can be sent to us directly to be used towards Indonesia set up costs and to purchase a vehicle when we get there (this option however is NOT tax deductible). Another option for folks who are considering an end-of-year gift is to make an annual commitment to give each December through at least our first term overseas. We understand that the amount given each year can fluctuate and that's okay... what's important is that we know of your intention. End-of-year gifts
without an ongoing commitment will be processed into the MAF general fund, but a commitment will allow us to add you to our ongoing team and fulfill that last 20%!
Thank you to each of you who have helped us get to this point and for those who have continually lifted us up in prayer. We are so grateful for you!
