Summer Events
We are back in the swing of things! Baby Isaac turns one next month, and we are preparing for our next itinerating session at Redemption Church Dade City. Along with that, we are opening a booth at The Family Car Show hosted by CTN on June 3rd, where we will be selling jewelry handmade by Haley. We are up to six monthly supporters, and we are so thankful for your help in keeping the ministry going while we get ready to visit India. Daniel is still looking for a couple of men to go with him for a scouting trip to meet our partners and some of the people we’ve been in touch with through zoom.
Happy New Year!
So much and so little has happened. We have been busy with baby Isaac and his big brother. We also have another church sponsor, New Life Church!
We were blessed to be able to join Redemption Church in December for the Winter Wonderland vendor event. At the end of January we were able to open a booth at the Kumquat Festival to sell jewelry that Haley makes to raise funds for Called to India. The event provided us with many chances to share God's call with lots of receptive event goers. We were even able to pray with a few people for healing and to be prayed with for the Lord's timing and provision.
Daniel is planning to make a scouting trip to India sometime this year, but we are waiting on at least two more people to join his team. While we wait on God's perfect timing, we are still doing Zoom calls with the Pastors and women of India.
New Arrival!
It's June, and baby Isaac has arrived! Both Haley and Isaac are doing well, and Isaac is growing fast! We are so grateful for your patience in our absence as we figure out our new family of four.
We have been blessed to find our first monthly church sponsor in Redemption Church Dade City. We have also been overjoyed to get to know the congregation there as we take a break from itineration for a few weeks.
In April we participated in a Block Party where we were able to raise $150 to send to our partner Pastor John Aduri for the funding of the church they are building in Telangana. Pastor John's church is still fundraising for the cost of building supplies which totals at $3000. If you feel led to donate, you can do so on our Donate page.
Tonight we will be on zoom with about 30 pastors in India and would appreciate your prayers as we hope to bring encouragement to them. We are anxious to be in India about our father's business, but until then, we feel the Lord is leading us to begin ministering here in the states. We're not sure what that looks like just yet, but we are waiting on God to lead and direct us to the people and places that He would have us go.
God's Perfect Timing
We have been very busy! Our passports came in a few months ago and we had begun planning a trip to India for April. However, we found out in October that we are expecting our second child, and Haley will unfortunately be unable to fly overseas after her 28th week of pregnancy (which just so happens to be in April). Our plan to join our partners in India will have to wait until after the new baby is born in June. We are still busy visiting many churches, in the meantime God is sending new team members to help us with itinerating and to bolster us with their passion for India. We are looking forward to meeting the rest of the team that God has promised will be waiting for Called to India Ministries!
One Step Closer
We are one step closer to India with the completion of our passport applications. They are officially in the mail for processing! The ministry is on its way to 501(c)(3) status with the completion of our bylaws and the commencement of more government forms. We were also able to provide funds for our church partner Faith Vision Ministries in India. God is making a way!
Youth Salvations
Haley received a last minute invitation to speak at a young women's conference via zoom. She spoke about the value of women in God's plan. Through this message an impact was made on the hearts of several young people and after the conference some came forward to receive salvation!
Commencing Itineration
Itineration-Journeying from place to place preaching or lecturing
We have moved into this ministry full time to begin itineration and are happy to report that our initial funding from our Renovate Church Family went above and beyond our initial goal. God really does make a way when He has a plan for your life. He has shown us miracle after miracle.
