More of God

Hey guys, its been a while since we have had some time to sit and tell you all what has been happening. We are now in Minot. God has really provided a HUGE blessing here in town. Mandy and I have been busy, between meeting with Church's, meeting with people, working, and trying to be family. God has opened some big doors for us here in Minot. Mandy and I are officially contractors now, and working as much as we can to put all our money towards the trip to Mexico. We got the approval of New Hope Wesleyan yesterday to be there missionaries, that is another big thing that we are excited about. We have had some people step forward and start supporting us financially as well, thank Jesus for there willingness to support the ministry. We have been in contact with Bethany about our trip to Mexico as well, and things there are moving ahead. We are praising God for the things that He is putting in our lives, and doing for us. I have time to tell you a couple miracles that God is doing and I will post more later. We had a fairly large job that we had to do, and really needed an airless painter. We could have did it by hand, but it would have been 100 times the work, and time needed. We finally broke down and decided to buy one. After looking at used ones and trying to find something there we kept running into roadblocks. We decided that because of warranty issues and just reliability we should go find a reliable, but inexpensive sprayer. Well, after we picked out the one that we wanted a lady came up to us and asked us if we were the missionaries in town going to Mexico, we said yes. She told us that to support us, and our ministry she would buy the sprayer for us. Here is the kicker. Mandy and I did a job a couple days before and while we were there we felt like we were supposed to donate almost all our time and supplies to the family. They had a good run of bad luck and we were able to tell them about the love of Jesus through this. More than just tell them, we were able to show them. Well, we did it and went and told them right before we went sprayer shopping. We could not afford to do it, but if that what God wants, that is what we have to do. So after it was all said and done, we ended us with a sprayer donated to us that was equivalent to, or maybe even more than the value of our work that we donated. God really has been supplying for his people. Another miracle that we have to tell you about is the daycare/schooling that God provided. We had nothing for Zoe here, and the day cares that had openings here, were like that for a reason. We also wanted Zoe in pre-school to get a good base before going to Mexico. We figured it would be a long shot but we stopped at the best daycare in town. They had a waiting list a mile long. Everything that we went after wasn't working. After 1 week of pulling our hair out, we finally gave it to God. Many felt like we were supposed to go back to ABC Childcare (The good one) and talk to the lady that told us they were full. We went back in and they told here that they were going to be opening us another 3 year old wing in the Church very soon. They also said that they would be willing to let Zoe in as soon as it opened. Well it did, and one week later she was in. God also provided a place for Zoe for the week that we were waiting. What a Huge answer to prayer. Thank you Lord for all that you are doing for us, even though we are not worthy. I would love to tell you more, but there is not enough time, so I will update later. Please keep us in your prayers as we are looking for people that are willing to come behind us and support us financially while we make this trip down south. Love you all and God Bless, Good night.
