Despite the cold weather, our hearts are warm with thankfulness and God's merciful abundance! On Family Day, we were excited to share with our social media friends that we have finally reached 100% of our MAF monthly ministry support for our first term! This was thanks to many people who give monthly, yearly, or on a one-time basis. We shared it through an instalment of "Breakfast with the Boers":
So what does this all mean?
1) We are done full-time support raising, but we are never done support-raising. This is a scary and difficult concept to explain, but essentially, we know over even the first four years, some of our financial support will drop off. Why? Because some of it was one-time support or because circumstances change for people! So, we continue to occasionally meet and share with people, in the hopes that we can build a buffer zone of support, that will keep us fully supplied over our first term!
2) In the meantime, we wait and pray. We wait for little baby Boersie to arrive and we wait for Marcel's visa! And we pray that God will provide perfect timing and that we have the patience and humility to wait on his perfect timing! And of course ... we continue to study Portuguese!
Thank you to everyone who tracks with us and prays for us! We look forward to joining the team in Angola, in God's good timing!
