Dear friends and family,
Hello again, everyone!
Our long march towards service in Latin America and beyond with the United World Mission slogs joyfully on, and we want to update you on progress.
We are now squarely in the top of the second inning and we’ve got us a ball game!
We’ll list our beloved home in Indianapolis for sale on October 7. Our previous income ends on September 30. There’s urgency in the air.
None of this is a surprise. These are elements of our vision-driven migration into missionary service with the United World Mission in Latin America and the wider Majority World. That smell you smell? No worries, it’s just rubber hitting the road.
David’s home church in Pennsylvania has opened to us the doors of their Haven House. We’ll live there after we sell our home and until our financial support has been fully raised.
In late October, we’ll visit the South American seminary where we plan to serve. This will be Karen’s first look at our future home and place of service. Exciting stuff.
Remember, you can always catch up with us at our Baerly There … website.
We are praying for and working towards the miracle of full funding by December 31. It never happens that fast. But we can’t see why it should not.
So far, 33 people and churches have told us they’ll be a part of our financial support team. They’ve jumped ahead of our ability even to reach out to them. If you’re one of these and are in a position to begin your financial support now, please do so here.
We need 100 financially supporting partners. Are you the 34th?
By mid-November, we expect to be able to provide you with ‘percent of needed funds raised’. For now, we’re just counting people and churches, and celebrating each one of you as we do.
How are we keeping busy?
√ Preparing our home for sale
√ Pressing into our support-raising adventure
√ Performing early responsibilities of the Theological Education Initiativeand mapping out where this puppy needs to go in order to reach its potential
√ Tackling the et cetera of life
Something is happening here, right under our feet. Will you join us?
Our love,
David & Karen |
