Well, in the next week, we will be purchasing airline tickets to move our family to St. Barthelemy. Our current plans are for me to leave in the last week of April to make sure everything is prepared for the arrival of our family to our mission field.
Kami and the kids will come a week later. My goal and hopes are that while I am there the week prior, I can get our vehicle set up and ready to go, get our house cleaned and some groceries in place, and any other necessary things that I haven't even thought of yet!
Please pray with us that the airline tickets that we need will go down in price over the next week and that we can get a vehicle that fits our needs and be able to ship it and our stuff to St. Barthelemy.

Cross out 7.......needing 6!
We want to praise the Lord for Bible Baptist Church in Bradenton, FL for taking us on for support last night at their mission's conference. Pastor Mark Campbell came to me after the services and said that they are taking us on for support and wanted to be a part of our ministry.
It was a great conference and we would love to be there for the entire conference but we start another mission's conference tonight through Sunday. We had such a wonderful time of fellowship with everyone and folks didn't leave the building until 9:45 last night. There was such a sweet spirit there!
So you can cross out 7 and now put in that we need just 6 more churches to take us on for support!

If you don't believe Satan fights......you're not in the fight!
Whenever we have a big decision to make for the Lord or we are about to take a big step of faith, we have always seen Satan fight us along the way. (By the way, if Satan isn't fighting you, then you must be on his side!) Here we are at a major step of faith in our lives, about to leave to bring the Gospel to an island controlled by Satan and covered in "darkness". We have seen an incease in not only a spiritual attack on our family, but a physical one as well. Many of you who have kept up with our blog have seen that we have faced many physical problems while in language school and especially since we have finished language school.
Well, we are at it again! Kami took Silas and Callie to the doctor today after a week of having colds and here is the outcome:
Callie has two ear-infections that rate on a scale of 1 to 4 (4 being the worst) hers being 3 1/2. She also has a severe case of pink eye which has spread an infection to her lungs and sinuses. She again is running a fever and looks so sad.
Silas has the same severe pink eye infections and also infantigo (spelling?) which is another infection as well.
Please remember to help us through prayer as we draw near to bringing the Light of the Gospel to a dark island......

Praises from this week!
Well, it seems as if we are getting somewhat better.....yes, this week, myself, Callie & Silas have had the flu/colds. I am doing much better today but Callie and Silas still have cold symptoms that have lasted a week. The closer we get to leaving for the field, the more physical attacks we become placed under.
I did want to mention a couple of blessings from this past week that I thought you might enjoy reading about.
Last Sunday I preached and two young people came forward and accepted Christ as their Saviour! We praise the Lord for working in their hearts and I am thankful that they came forward and made a decision for Christ.
Today, I had the wonderful opportunity to baptize my nephew at our home church. He is 19 and I can see the Lord working on their entire family. I want to give a testimony as to what is making a difference in their home. Kami's sister (Keela) and her husband (William) started becoming faithful to church and wanted to get more serious about their walk with Christ. I gave William a CD of a sermon by David Gibbs, which is my favorite sermon. They listened to it and then downloaded every sermon by David Gibbs they could find and listened to every one. Talk about a shot in the arm! (The Bible says, "The preaching of the cross is to them that perish, foolishness, but unto us which are saved, it is the power of God.") the more solid preaching you put in your life, the more you will grow! They then joined the choir at church, started tithing, and right now, they are on track to finish reading their Bibles through in 60 days! Let me tell you, this is a recipe for revival!
