Dear brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ,
Here we are in March now and the past month has been full of wonderful blessings!
- We are excited to share that we are now have 36% of our monthly income pledged, an 11% increase in the past month! If the Lord continues to bring pledges in at the same rate, we will be at 100% of our monthly support in six months! This is our main prayer right now and we hope you will join us in praying for this as well. Our hearts yearn to begin our work in earnest on the "Rez" and we are so thankful for the reminders of God's provision and encouragement.
- We were able to visit all of the Sunday School classes at our home church, First Evangelical Presbyterian Church, over the past month, since we were selected as the missionaries of the quarter and the children's offering is going to us. It has been a privilege and joy to visit with the children and describe the situation on the Reservation in simple language, as well as the gospel and work we believe God has in store for us.
- We have been stunned to see miraculous provision in this financially tight time for our family and can only give praise to God for always taking care of us and meeting our needs using His other children and other means. This is a significant answer to prayer for us!
- We have the privilege of sharing about the Yakama and our calling during a special missions focused service and First EPC in Renton this coming Sunday, March 14!
- Jack "Wildman" Spencer, who professed his faith in Christ last month, shared his testimony with Hope Fellowship, the Tuesday night Bible study group that meets in the White Swan Longhouse. Praise the Lord for the mighty works He is doing through the Sacred Road team already in White Swan!
Ways you can pray for us and the Yakama Indians this month:
- We will be traveling to Spokane to visit with friends and family in the area for support raising and fellowship on the weekend of March 19-21st. If you live in the Spokane area and you are interested in setting up a meeting with us, let us know and we will put you on the calendar! Please pray for successful meetings, joyful fellowship, and safe travels to and from as we drive over the mountains.
- Pray for continued endurance and diligence in the work of support raising as we send out "batches" of letters to potential supporters and continue doing many phone calls.
- Pray for the spring break teams working with Sacred Road in White Swan for the next three weeks - for safety on the work sites, for relationships with the children in the housing projects during Kids Club
Love in Christ,
Jesse, Sarah, and Adelaide
