It has been really cool to see how God has provided for us in this short amount of time. I(Jared) was thinking about getting a new pair of shoes because my tennis shoes were nearing the end. Well, on Sunday, someone approached me and said they wanted to be part of our ministry, but the way they wanted to do it didn't materialize, so they asked if we could use any clothing or shoes! PRAISE THE LORD! They met me at a store here in CO, and I bought new tennis shoes as well as new Sunday shoes! It's neat how God chooses to use his people to provide for each other. :)
I'll be sharing with a small group tomorrow, and I'm looking forward to sharing again about the Kriol Speakers and our future work in Australia. I wonder who God is going to add to our team next. It's been a blessing to be a part of this so far. My prayer is that they would all join our team before January, so we can arrive in Australia before "The Wet", and be in Darwin during that time. Then, when the dry season comes we'll be able to go to our assignment community. If you're keeping up with this blog, please pray to that end! :) We're at 69% now, and I'm looking forward to seeing how the rest of the finances come in.

Back From Missouri, and still going.
The weekend in Missiouri went well, and I was encouraged to be able to share with others about our work with Wycliffe and share about God's faithfulness in our lives. However, I didn't expect it to start on the plane ride over!
I sat next to a woman on the plane, and she asked me, "So, is this a business trip?" From there I told her about our involvement with Wycliffe, how God brought us to this point, and some of the stuff He's been doing lately. It was way encouraging. She told me I reminded her of her middle son, because I trimmed my beard the same way, and he was "on fire for the Lord" too. :) She told me a bit about her family, and before we knew it, the flight was over. As I was walking away from her in the terminal she approached me, gave me a gift and said, "I know this isn't much, but use it for your ministry." PRAISE THE LORD! It is so cool to see how God is at work when I'm least expecting it. Especially in a time when our economy is not the greatest. May the Lord bless her for her sacrifice.
Again, sitting outside of the airport in Denver, waiting for Cheri to pick me up, an older lady with long gray hair and a guitar sat down next to me. I asked her about herself, and found out she was a Christian. Then I shared with her(briefly) what God was doing with us, and about Wycliffe. I asked her if she would like to recieve our updates, but told her I didn't want to push paper on her. She said, "Give me whatever you've got, brother!" :) So, I gave her a partnership brochure, our newest newsletter, and a prayer card. When her rided arrived a few seconds later she gave me a big hug, and said, "God bless, brother!" and was gone. I wonder what God will do with her? But praise the Lord for that opportunity to share. I'll be praying for her until we meet again.
I wonder what he's going to do next!
We have been given the opportunity to share with a church in South Dakota. We have been blessed with the entire sermon time as well as the Sunday School hour! Pray for wisdom as to what to share and for more people to catch the vision of Bible translation, Scripture Use, and Literacy for the Kriol Speakers of Northern Australia. Thanks!

Do not worry! :) Another God sighting.
We're looking forward to this weekend, I(Jared) will be going to Missouri to share with a supporting church there. In case you check this blog, please pray for the weekend there. We're currently at 63% of our monthly financial support, so we need more monthly supporters to join us in this ministry through prayer and finances both. Pray God would bring the people who are called to be part of our team to get in contact with me over this weekend. It's only a few days away already! Wow. Time flies.
Something cool God did this past week to bless our family: We received a card from an anonymous source, with a gift card for King Soopers Grocery store, AND a gift card for Kohl's! Praise the Lord! It's just proving the Bible to be true, and our God to be faithful. He does provide for our needs.
"Therefore I tell you, do not worry aobut your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important that food, and the body more important than clothes?... So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all these things, and your Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."
Praise the Lord with us! :)
If you want to be involved in what God has been doing in our lives, and in the work in Australia, that would be awesome. Pray and ask God how He would have you be involved in His work. If He leads you to be part of our minstry, PRAISE THE LORD!

Life in CO so far
Cheri's in 3 Bible studies -- two mornings, with child care, to take the kids away to give Jared some time to work on Partnership Development. One in the evening with Jared's mom.
The kids have a few nursery times in the week, and the girls have just joined a Wednesday evening AWANA cubbies program! (Bethany is almost potty-trained!)
Jared is in one men's Bible study and works hard on partnership development for Wycliffe. He will also be serving in the AWANA program, helping with games or in whichever area they need more help.
We will all be visiting the doctor soon for our Australian visas! Please pray for this process.
God bless any of you out there who are reading this!

Contentment?
I was planning on calling churches this morning, but then discovered my cell phone in my pocket--batteries completely dead. BUMMER! So, it's recharging, and I'm blogging. God has done a lot lately. He brought us safely from MN to CO, gave us a new church to speak in, and hopefully(prayerfully) they will join our partnership team. If you think of us, pray for more partners. We still hope to leave by January, and I know God will provide.
I was feeling a little antsy yesterday, and sort of bummed. It seems that all of our friends from GIAL have already left, or are leaving for the mission field. I'm totally excited for them, and I'm glad they are going, but I wish we were too! I know God has a purpose for this now. I just need to stay on task and keep serving him where I am. He put us in CO for a reason, to speak at new churches and share with people what He's doing in Australia and in our lives. So we just need to be faithful where He has put us. I know He will take care of us, and we will ultimately end up exactly where He intends for us to be. So, though I feel bummed, I can reflect and realize there really isn't a reason to be discontent with where we are right now. We must simply be faithful in sharing, and God will get us there in His time (which I hope is January or so!)
It's been encouraging to see how many people have joined in our ministry and how many people have helped us along the way, and not just with financial gifts. The reason I can be content with where we are is seeing the people who have caught our vision and are excited with us to see what God has planned and want to be "in on it". We really want to include as many people as possible in this so others can experience God's faithfulness and be involved in what He is doing around the world. So, with that said, I know God will continue to add to our number, just as He has been(even if it's not as fast as I would do it...:) ). I will wait and see what God will do next, and try to remain faithful to the tasks He has laid before me.

We have found an optimal way to send out greeting cards! It's great because:
- each individual card costs less than $1
- we don't have to purchase cards at the store -- we send them directly from our computer!
- They're real cards, not just e-cards.
- They can be personalized in many ways, including our own pictures
- We can send them to friends in the United States from Australia for the cost of a $.44 US stamp!
We joined a company called "Send Out Cards." We saw this as a real advantage and boost to our ministry and personal lives. You can check it out and get a free trial to send out a card on us, by going to this link: https://www.sendoutcards.com/80622
If you want to get this good deal on greeting cards, there are different options -- you do have to pay an entrance fee, but for the value of the cards and if you use it for many years, I think it is worth it. If you do want to start using Send Out Cards, please contact us and we can help get you started.
