Helping orphans, reaching the lost and needy

Tuesday, January 8, 2008

God's already been blessing us in 2008. There's a Christmas tree farm in Texas who every year does a fund raiser night for missions. This year they chose us and raised over a $1000! It was a huge help. We've really been needing new tires for our truck but haven't had the money to get them. When we shipped it, it came with nice tires but they were just regular street tires, not cut out for the roads over here. The last time Jake went out to a village he managed to get a flat 4 times in one day as the roads where extremely rocky. Then another time we actually had a long slit in the tire from a rock. So needless to say this was a bit of a hassle and something we always thought about when traveling out of the city. Praise the Lord with this money, we were finally able to get brand new all terrain tires, that can just about go anywhere. Things like this are soooooo expensive over here, the Lord knew our need and provided, just in time too as we head out to Tombel village this week. One other missionary told us the three main crops in Tombel are Cocoa, Corn and rocks!
New tires!
