Over the last few months, I have had several people tell me that they are ready and willing to support\u00a0us financially in our bid to get to\u00a0Haiti\u00a0BUT…1) They haven’t gotten around to finding a stamp and mailing in the back side of the prayer card…OR2)\u00a0 They have tried to start the process on-line at the OMS website and found it confusing and time-consuming.And these are legitimate\u00a0hang-ups in our go-go-go culture and I completely empathize.\u00a0 Fortunately, I’ve got a friend who has led me to a solution.\u00a0 James Hill just moved to Greenwood, Indiana to be a homeland missionary with OMS in the area of web programming.\u00a0 James and his wife Loni were in our OMS orientation class this time last year – and that’s where we first got to know them.\u00a0 They are such a neat family and we’re glad to have them living near by!Yesterday, James designed a website for me (while\u00a0my main contribution to the process was looking\u00a0over his shoulder and silently marveling) – a website that makes it simple, straightforward, quick and convenient for to get the ball rolling for anybody who wishes to support our upcoming ministry in Haiti through a monthly faith promise.So, check it out right HERE<\/a><\/strong>.<\/span>I’ve also put\u00a0the link in the sidebar of this blog, for ease of locating it again easily in the future.\u00a0 And I plan to annoy everybody by posting and re-posting it on Facebook in the coming weeks and months.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude09\u00a0 In all seriousness, I\u00a0often feel like we are placing a burden on family and friends (and sometimes even strangers!) when I ask for support, and I guess that’s because I am.\u00a0 I\u00a0AM placing a burden on others.\u00a0 But it’s a burden God\u00a0first placed on us.\u00a0 We are just sharing the burden!\u00a0 ;-)I am beginning to feel the crunch of time.\u00a0 Our goal is to get our family to Haiti right after Christmas – in time for the start of the second semester.\u00a0 As I have already mentioned, the need for a kindergarten and high school teacher is present NOW and the\u00a0Cowman International School\u00a0is “making do” until we get there.\u00a0 When you click on the new website, you are simply initiating<\/strong> the support process.\u00a0 There’s no credit card info or anything like that.\u00a0 You are\u00a0only letting us know that you are committing to partner with us financially in ministry to Haiti and that you will start giving in December or so.\u00a0\u00a0You will receive all the necessary information about the financial\u00a0process in the mail in plenty of time to get started\u00a0before we\u00a0leave the country.Would you be willing to pray about whether or not the Lord would have you partner with us?We are completely dependent on God’s provision through generous individuals to get our family to Haiti. Our hearts are already there – we just need to get our physical bodies there too!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
