Wait Patiently

"Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you; therefore he will rise up to show you compassion. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him!" Isaiah 30:18

Hello everyone! The past few weeks have been very challenging for both of us. We have been struggling with direction in our lives and in ministry. We are staying encouraged in the Word and by talking to friends about our needs. We are learning daily of the importance of faith in all things. It is amazing how the Lord is teaching us through these difficult situations.

As many of you may know our goal is to move to the city that we are currently helping plant a church. It is about 25 miles away from the city we are living in now, but it takes us an hour and a half one way by train to get there. So in order to cultivate the relationships we already have and continue making new ones we are moving... again. We began looking for places on the internet and we went and looked at one last Saturday. After seeing it we took the weekend to pray about it and then we made an offer on Monday. They accepted our offer and we will move in at the end of June. We are both so thankful to be in the community with believers and to see how God uses this new church plant for His kingdom.

Please continue to pray for us as a family. We are financially struggling and we are currently praying about ways to supplement our income with support. Please be praying for Justin, his co-workers, and students he is weekly having opportunities to share the Gospel.

Thank you for praying for us.

Justin & Carli
