Hope for Japan

This past weekend has been both bittersweet and exciting. On Friday at youth group, we had to say goodbye to a family that is moving to North Carolina. Yesterday, we completed our moving sale by handing over the keys to our Honda Civic. This was the final item to get rid of before we move in just over a week to Scotland. With the money from the sale, we plan on paying down our student loans a bit.

Shortly after selling our car, we headed down to New York City to speak at Queenswest Church. We had a great time speaking at the first church Highrock planted about six years ago. Rather than drive down at the crack of dawn, we were able to leave early and visit some old friends from seminary. We were overwhelmed by their wonderful hospitality.

One highlight of the weekend was finding out that we have now crossed the 50% mark of our support raising! Given the reality of the economy, the high cost of living in Japan, and the relatively short-time we have been raising support, we clearly see God’s hand in all of this and His amazing provision.
