Getting Equipped

Hi everyone! This weekend we are gearing up for Equip, our initial training session that starts Monday. We are so excited about this next step in our service with Wyclifffe! The first six weeks of Equip are online. We will have several hours of reading and assignments to do each week as we learn more about the history of Wycliffe, and prepare for our role as members. We will then have a one week break, so we can get ready for the two weeks we will be spending in Orlando, Florida for Equip Onsite. Equip Onsite will be for our entire family, and will give the kids an opportunity to learn about life as MK's (missionary kids). These next several weeks promise to be busy, challenging and encouraging! We can't wait to see what God is going to do in us during this time. David will still be working, and I'll still be homeschooling the kids and trying to keep the house running. We are also planning a yard sale for next month to help clear out some of our unnecessary possessions, and to hopefully raise money to help with the cost of Equip. Please pray that we will be good stewards of our time, and be able to find a good balance between all our responsibilities and family. Another area that we would really appreciate your prayers over is the financial cost of Equip. Equip costs a fair amount of money, and the total cost is due by September 28th or we will be unable to attend Equip Onsite. When everything happened with Makaylah's leg, we really questioned how we were going to make everything work for Equip. God reminded us that it's not about us making things work. He is a big God, and He will provide all our needs - mentally, emotionally, physically, and financially. We trust that is true and that His will is going to be done!
