We are soooo close!!

Praise God! The container is ready to ship and we are just waiting on Shipping Advisors out of Chicago Ill. to give us the pickup date here in Fairbanks. We have a slot on a ship leaving Tacoma Washington on the 17th of June and Lord willing we will make it.
We need lots of prayer concerning the container yet. The shipping company out of Anchorage want to charge us per pound instead of a flat rate. They want almost $8,000.00 to get it down to Tacoma, and Mearsk wants $10,550.00 to get it from Tacoma to Blantyre, Malawi.
Also we desire prayer that God's hand will be on it all the way to Malawi without bumps in the road; if any, very small.

We are now out of our home and living out of our suitcases at Mr. & Mrs. Billups home, friends from BBC. What wonderful people to open their home to 5 of us!

Our church gave us a wonderful "Sendoff Sunday" on the 1st, giving God much praise!
We had the most incredible evening service I have ever seen. I have been in services where there was much open and brokenness, but during our testimony time the Holy Spirit moved over many people. We had just concluded our spring youth camp and many adults and older teens received the Dear Lord Jesus as their Savior during camp time! Many of them stepped up to the front of the church and gave God the Glory, and during this testimony time (6) people were saved!! This sharing time took almost 1.5 hours! I was to preach, but when the Pastor Duffett talked to me I felt I did not have liberty to preach as God was in control of the service.
Prior to church that night I knelt by my bed and prayed that God would save some during our service, and Praise to His Name He did it without me preaching!! We serve an awsome God!

We are wrapping up loose ends here in Fairbanks this week, and we fly to Sioux Falls SD on Sunday, 6-8-08. We will be staying in Mitchell SD for 13 days with a meeting in Aberdeen SD on Wednesday the 11th, and visiting two other churches in the state. On the 23rd we fly out to Africa; Please continue to pray for us!

Phil. 4:19 - What a wonderful God we serve!
