50%

We are so blessed to have family, friends and churches that are partnering with us to get us to 50% of our support needed to get to Kenya. This may not seem huge for some, but it means SO much to us. We are now in the LAST half of our support raising and that much closer to our ministry in Kenya. It is extra motivation knowing that we could be in Kenya by next year. We are praying that God continues to bring in supporters so we can move to Mombasa by fall of 2011.
Our family has had a wonderful time traveling together this fall! Elliot has been such a great traveler and her older sisters help out so much. We have gotten to experience a lot of great things and have met some incredible people. We feel blessed and humbled to share God's call in our life with so many churches. Our prayer during this time is that God would use us to encourage other believers to pursue His will on their life.
Highlights:
Elliot is 6 months old
Claire turns 4 this month
The girls got to swim in Lake Cumberland and ride on Sea-do's
