Yesterday marked a year since our official acceptance with Emmanuel International to serve in Tanzania, launching us into the "rallying" phase to build a support network that will make this calling a reality for our family. We want to thank everyone for the support and encouragement we have received along the way. We are currently at 58% of our monthly support needed to leave for Tanzania and we have been encouraged by the recent influx of supporters joining our team! Thank you!

Our goal is to have 100% of our support pledged by June. Please let us know if you can join our support team or would like to learn more about what we're doing in Tanzania!

Are you interested in what we're doing in Tanzania but want to learn more?

Join us for an informative dessert evening in Greendale on Friday February 20, 7-9pm.

Learn about Tanzania and what we're doing there while you enjoy a cup of Tanzanian coffee and a dessert with friends. There will also be some items for sale with proceeds going to our mission:

• fair-trade coffees and teas from Tanzania and other places
• hand-made jewelry from Malawi and Haiti
• Epicure spices and goodies

If the date doesn't work out for you, give us a shout and we'll grab a Starbucks or Tim's coffee and share our mission with you (if you're in the Fraser Valley, otherwise maybe just a phone call?).

Thanks to everyone who has already committed to supporting us, we are nearly halfway to our required support level to make our mission in Tanzania a reality. We are trusting God to provide for our needs as we aim for our departure goal in June. We did some calculating and we figure we need 60 more people who will support us financially (based on the  support scenario below) and at least 25 more people who will commit to praying for us (the more the better).
