What is so special about the number 57? Read this blog post further to find out!
Yesterday was a big day for us. For one, we said goodbye to friends Ben and Crystal Johnson. They are missionaries to China. They have completed their deputation and left for the mission field yesterday. It was exciting to see how God has provided for them. We believe God is going to use them in China! As you can see from the picture below, we and a lot of other friends went to see them off at the airport. They will be missed but we are all excited to see how God uses them! As a dear brother put it, we are thankful that we are the group who is sending out the Gospel, not the group waiting for the Gospel. Ben and Crystal are being sent out to a people who are waiting for the Gospel, a people who don’t know it, but will find out as God works through the Johnsons to make His name known! Be praying for Ben and Crystal.
Now to address the number 57. Yesterday was a big day for another reason. We purchased our plane tickets for Argentina! We will be leaving on March 24, 2016! We are 57 days away from our flight. We are at 85% of our needed funds. We are believing God for the rest. Please be praying with us that God will build the rest our support through more churches that partner with us. Thank you for praying for us.
