TICKETS!!!

WE BOUGHT TICKETS!!!! We are very excited to say that we now have tickets. It is nice to know that we are for sure going and now that we have a day to tell people that we will be leaving for Namibia. You may be wondering what day that would be, we will be leaving on July 6th. We fly out of Denver and go to London and then down to Cape Town and then a quick jump up to Windhoek Namibia. Windhoek is where we will call home for a while. Our teammates (David & Sandy Echols) have been in Namibia for about a month now and in Africa for about 2 months. We are excited to be reunited with them and to start the work that we have been working toward for so long. It will be hard to leave our family and friends behind but there is no greater joy than to be doing that work that God has set out for you. Please be praying for our travels and especially for Sammie that she will travel well and that we can get there with no problems. Thank you for all your support and prayers. Thank You.

Whirlwind!!!

Wow, It seriously feels like we have been put through the ringer. It has been crazy. I know the last post said that we were "Busy, Busy, Busy!" But seriously it has only been even more crazy. We have been all around Nebraska, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois and now to head back the other direction after this Sunday. Last week we were at Lakeview Church Camp by Stockton KS. We had a great time with all the 4th Graders that were there and also the faculty. It was a great time to see kids growing UP in Christ. (The theme of the camp was UP, like the Movie.) So to end camp up they made a church out of Cardboard and tied balloons on to it and let it go. It was a very encouraging time. Then we had the opportunity to go back to visit Rocky Fork Fellowship in Hallsville. Then we headed up the road a bit and saw Tenth Avenue North while visiting more friends while in the area. We are now in La Harpe IL where we are doing a week of VBS as the missionaries here. This church is always encouraging to us and it is such a blessing to be part of the work that they are doing. Sorry it has been so long since the last post on here but we will really try to be more regular with it.

Busy, Busy, Busy!

As you can see we have been so busy. We have been to many different cities to show individuals and churches what we will be doing while in Namibia. We have been to the following cities: Julesburg CO, McCook NE, Chappell NE, Haxtun CO, Lexington NE. There are still more churches and individuals that we need to meet up with so we will continue to be very busy. We are lining up churches now for May and June. There are already 3 weeks that are taken up by a church,a camp, and a VBS.

We are anxious to get to Namibia. It has been hard to be here because our teammates, David and Sandy Echols, are leaving for Namibia tomorrow morning. We are excited for them but it is hard to remain here in the US while they are there preparing to do the work that we all are committed to doing. If you would like for us to come and visit with you about what we are doing in Namibia please let us know. We are starting to look at dates that we can leave so please get ahold of us soon so that we can talk with you before we leave. Thank you for all of your support and prayers.

There are a few things that you can pray for if you don't mind.
1. The remaining $930 monthly support that we still need before we can leave.
2. Good prices on plane tickets.
3. The Perfect vehicle to be ready for us when we get there.
4. Safety for our teammates David & Sandy while traveling tomorrow.
5. God to prepare the hearts of the people we will be ministering to while in Namibia.

Thank you so much.

Julesburg Christian Church

We visited Julesburg Christian Church yesterday where I (Adam) used to attend for many years. It was great to see some faces that were very familiar. Seeing all of these people and being able to talk even for just a while was great. We look forward to being able to develop more relationships with the people there.

Moving

We just moved back to Nebraska, where we are from, around the first of the month. This move was made so that we can visit churches and friends that we have here that we have not been able to communicate with very well since we have lived so far away. Craigslist became our best friend for a while. Selling almost everything we packed all of our belongings into a trailer and set off for Nebraska. We also noticed that the trailer was far too full. Now we have to go through all of the boxed that we just moved and get rid of a lot more stuff. This has been a really stressful time because all of the things that we had acquired we somewhat identified ourselves with and now we have almost nothing. So now as we move forward toward moving to Namibia we have to look past this a look ahead at what is to come. As frustrating as it is to move we are really excited, we i guess as excited as you can be about moving. It is nice to see that the goal we have been shooting for is now within sight. We really are excited to see where God will lead us.

Selling Everything

Wow, this has to be one of the hardest things so far. Everything that we have worked so hard to get and somewhat identify ourselves with we now have to sell. We have to get to the point that we can get almost everything into a few suitcases. This is really hard to do. We are less than two weeks away from moving to Nebraska to set up a home base there closer to the churches and people that we grew up with. We will let you know where we are and where we are going.

Thank you for all the prayer and the help that we receive from all of you. If it were not for you we could not do what we are set out to do. Thank you for being part of our team.

Support Raising

Within the next few weeks we will turn a page on our journey. We will be traveling around raising support. Focusing only on raising support will help us to connect better with people that are considering joining our team to reach the people of Namibia. This also means that we will be in your area, yeah your area. We would love to come and visit you, your small group, or your church. We will try to contact many of you. Would you start considering now if you could help us stay in Namibia by commiting to Monthly Support.
Currently we are at 1/3rd of our full support. As of now we have $1,060 monthly that is committed of our $3,250 that is needed to stay on the field. Because of one-time gifts; received, and committed, and the selling of our house; we have enough of our start-up cost that we could leave at any time. We are willing to serve as full-time missionary’s but the problem is that we don’t have the monthly commitments to keep us there. If there is anyway to encourage you personally to join with us, we would love to do that. This can be a big step for you just as it is for us but we are a team and with out all of you we can not do what God has set before all of us to do. Please join with us and if you have questions, please do not hesitate to ask we would love to answer your questions.
