Thank you again for every prayer, gift and word of encouragement sent my way! Dave and my joint account has reached 60%!! That is exactly how much we NEED to have by January 4th (our departure date).  Between one time gifts, monthly donations (Guess what-the $10/month are adding up too guys!) and verbal pledges, we have an estimated $20,000.  Our final goal will be to get to $29,000 (enough to cover our overseas insurance and maybe even a few date nights throughout the year=-)  We cannot say thank you enough for your sacrifice during these tough financial times!! We are a great team(us & YOU)—and we look forward to updating you with ALL that God is doing and will do this year to come!! Let us know how we can be lifting you and your families up during this holiday season and year to come!

With gratitude and thanksgiving!
