so, as a new year begins we are beginning some new adventures. we are officially going to nigeria this year from july to december. we are going though free methodist world mission, and as soon as we get our budget turned in and approved, we can begin fundraising. this is an incredibly daunting task for us, it will cost around $20,000 for us to go, and we need to have all of the money raised before we leave. we trust that God is good and we know that he will provide a way, even if we cannot see it right now. pray for us as we prepare to go, there are many things we need to get done, including finding a home for our cat. we hope you are jumping into some new adventures this new year as well.
