We have been so blessed by the generosity of others as we get 8:7 Africa ministry up and running. We know that we can not do it without help and every time we start having doubts or feeling discouraged, something amazing happens. Reminding us that God has this and that we are not alone in this. In the last 2 days people have donated around $4,000... Isn't that truly amazed during this holiday season!! Some saying they want to be a part of 8:7 Africa through financial gifts and others through words of encouragement, cheering us on when it seems so daunting.
One of question we have gotten is, How do you know it is the right decision to move? I look at like this, we are called to help the poor and needy, the orphan and widow and that may look different for everyone. But for us, it is a need that God has put on our hearts and we walk forward in this decision with much excitement & anticipation (a few nerves in there too!!). We trust that God has us in the palm of His hands & know that His plans are far greater than ours.

Isaiah 30:21 - And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk in it,” when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left.
We love this verse because it reminds us that we are on God's path and gives us comfort as we move our family overseas.
