Who Gets the Grease?

Last night we said goodbye to my parents... the hugs with "see you in a year or so". My parents have spent the past week or so in Phoenix, AZ with the primary reason of spending quality time with Mike and me... before we return to Honduras. Problem is, we don't know when we are returning to Honduras.

We have been approved as long-term (career) missionaries with Mission to the World.
(even though we are a little crazy!)
We have attended all the necessary trainings. (my bum print in many a chair)
We have been in contact with our supporters. (friends and family fun!)
We FEEL more than ready to return home... (home, home, home...)
But... we can't return yet. (Is the word "stuck"  appropriate here?)

~~~~~~~~~~~~

We originally went to Honduras as short-term (2-3 years) missionaries which meant that we did not receive retirement, some insurance benefits, or a full salary (among other things)... Now that we are career missionaries, we receive those benefits! (WOOT WOOT!) So... we get to pursue more relationships and invite others to give financially.

Not sure why we raise support?? Watch this 2-minute video.


The short answer: Because God says to.

We long to return to Honduras by May 9. Why?

My daughter, Dixi, is in Honduras.
The contract on our house ends June 18 and we have to find a new home before then and move and...
My best friends are in Honduras.
My family is in Honduras.

God is working in Honduras...
I have been designed and equipped to serve the people of Honduras with my husband.
Home (on earth)Honduras

Therefore, I become a squeaky wheel.
We can't return to Honduras until we have an additional $1,800 a month
committed by you (and others like you).

Are you already supporting us? (thank you!! and can you give more?)
Think you can't support us? (we have supporters who give $5 a month, and some who give $300 a month)
Know someone who could give? (rich aunt or friend who loves Jesus)
Have more than you need? (sell something, transfer funds... get creative)

I can say with certainty that God will provide for us when He wants to, how He wants to, through whomever He wants to... even through you, right now...

Consider it. Pray about it.

I am a squeaky wheel... and the squeaky wheel gets the grease.
