Taiwan!!!

We made it!  God wanted us in Taiwan and He exceeded our expectations!  We have made some amazing friends already and can see God's hand at work!  The Taiwanese love the kids...some have went crazy over Kobe saying he looks like Justin Bieber!!!  We have been ministering in elementary schools and universities.  We did our first performance in a local coffee shop tonight and will be performing at a church tomorrow.  We go to a smaller town about an hour from Taipei and stay there this following week.  We are expecting great things in Taiwan! God did such an amazing thing getting us here that we know He has a plan!  Can't wait to share with you all!  Blessings!

God is bigger than our Finances!

We leave for Taiwan 3am Thursday (tonight)!!!  Ahhhhh....  We still need $1,000 to come in today to meet all our expenses.  We know that God can and will provide for this.  He has brought in so much more than that over the last 8 or 9 weeks!  Let's go Team Jesus!  Woot woot!

One Week til Taiwan!

We leave for Taiwan in 1 wk and 3 days!  It is hard to believe!  Our lecture phase has went so fast and God has been doing some amazing things in us and through us!  We are still believing for $7000 this last week to pay for our airline tickets and food and housing while there!  A couple of weeks ago God kept waking me up saying Isaiah 64!  I had no idea if Isaiah even had that many chapters!  In the morning I read it but wasn't sure what God was trying to tell me.  Last night, God gave me a strong desire to dig into the scripture and I had a hard time getting past the first three verses...it just had so much meaning.  With that being said I believe Is. 64 is our prayer this week.  "O' that you would rend the heavens and come down...when you did awesome things that we did not expect, you came down, and the mountains trembled...You act on behalf of those who wait for you...You come to the help of those who remember your ways..."  O Lord how we desire to know you more and be filled with you more...help us on this journey to fully seek your face and your ways to the glory of your kingdom!

House for sale or rent

We have recently found out that our friends who have been staying in our house are moving and will be out by April 1st.  This leaves us with questions as what we should do next.  Not only do we not have the finances to cover our mortgage but we will be out of the country for two months during this time.  We know our God is good and has the perfect plan even when we are feeling squeezed.  So we are trusting that No matter how it is worked out this situation will work out as God intends.  Let us know if you know of anyone interested in buying or renting a house in the Ottumwa area and we will see what we can do!  Blessings, Misty
