Our family was planning on going to South Dakota to share with a church there about Wycliffe. The visit went well, and I really enjoyed sharing with them. We're praying for more people to join in this work with us through prayer and finances as a result of this trip.
Before we left for SD, I(Jared) took the car in to have the oil changed. I was informed that we needed a new timing belt, because the car had reached the 105k mile mark, and that was the recommended time for replacement. It would "only cost about $800." AAAAAAAAAAAAAA! That's a bit more than we can afford right now. I told them thank you, and that I would call my mechanic and talk with him about it.
So, I called up a friend in MN and asked him if they were telling me the truth. He told me it was time for it, and that he would be willing to do it for us, if we paid for the parts. AMEN! But that meant we would have to drive up to MN. The cool thing was, we were already heading up to SD, and that's half-way there. In fact, from where we were, it was closer to drive to MN than back to CO. So, we are now in MN on a surprise trip to get the car fixed, which is saving us approximately $500. BLESSING!
We're praying for a church to share at this Sunday in MN, we'll see what God does next. If you have one we could possibly share with, we don't mind driving there(obviously... :) )

Looking forward to the weekend!
God has been encouraging me lately. I was getting a little bummed out about where we are in our ministry right now. God has truly blessed us, in more ways than I can count, and yet my spirit was restless. Each time we hear of another friend heading out to the mission field, we rejoice with them, and yet wish we were going soon too! We're now at 70% of our needed partnership for Australia, so we're definitely growing and getting closer.
God blessed me through His Word with these verses from 2 Thessalonians 1:11 & 12:
"With this in mind, we constantly pray for you, that our God may count you worthy of his calling, and that by his power he may fulfill every good purpose of yours and every act prompted by your faith. We pray this so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ."
God will provide everything we need. He will complete this work. So, with Scripture in mind, I'm not so bummed, I'll just continue to work toward what God has called us to, knowing that He will continue to provide everything we will need. :)
This weekend we have a prayer meeting and are able to share with a church in South Dakota! Praise the Lord. We're looking forward to sharing more of what God is doing and how they can be part of this work.
