Praise Report!
First and foremost, before we can begin talking about what's happening next...We want to truly thank and glorify God for all he has already done. Roberta and I came to Washington on a step of faith, and with being here only two weeks God has provided a car for us and a place to live! He has also provided excellent job opportunities for me. We are reminded of the simple blessings of a roof over our heads, and a way to get around. We truly feel that in these next 3 months of stepping out in faith God will meet our every need as we prepare for the big step in going to Cambodia!
What's happening now?
Right now our main goal is to fundraise, fundraise, and fundraise! Roberta and I need a total of $10,000 for the School of Biblical Studies that starts in September. It is here that we will lay the foundation of God's words in our lives and heart, while working in ministries in Cambodia already planted and growing. We are so excited to take this next step overseas, but we are in need of your help.
Here is the cost breakdown:
Tuition & Housing $3,600 x 2 = $7,200
2 Roundtrip Tickets to Cambodia - $2,800
This does NOT include our monthly need for while we are in Cambodia. Currently, our goal is to raise a committed monthly support base of at least $1,200 a month on top of the $10,000. These may seem like big numbers, but we trust that our God is faithful and has provided for us thus far.
Where is the money going?
Right now, we have a complete separate account that is all going to Cambodia. Your continued monthly support and one time gifts are going to the $10,000 goal that we must meet by September 1st.
Currently, in our account we have $660! We must start somewhere! Only $9,340 more to go! Be prepared with updates on how our goal is coming along. We fully want you involved and to hear about what God is providing for us in many many ways.

Please be praying for us
Roberta and I will be looking for part time work that will pay for our current living expenses while we are fundraising. I have gotten some part time temporary work that has held us over, but our goal and desire is that all of our monthly support goes directly to Cambodia, and we are working to live right now. If you live in the area and know of any part time work that would help for Roberta, please let us know. We have been actively searching for what God may have for us here.
