It has been a long journey to make it this far. About a year ago, one of our advisors shared with us Romans 11:29 "for God's gifts and His calling are irrevocable. Through much perseverance and lots of prayer we're excited to announce that we got the approval to begin looking at visas! What that means is that as soon as the country of Thailand opens its borders to international travel from the States, we can leave!

Our launching process is unique in that the original requirements (the final schooling in Colorado Springs, being fully funded prior to launching) have changed. We are 'soft launching" which means that we are looking into options to begin language school here in the States prior to being in the field. The original plan was to spend the first 3-6 months in Bangkok for language school, but now we are starting from home. Please be in prayer that we can find a school that works with international students online.

This is it. Home stretch! Throughout our support raising process, we have had many people say or have interest in supporting us once we deploy to the field. We are still counting on those who have committed to joining our team and haven't started giving. TMS-Global is making some exceptions to not require us to be fully funded before we "launch" to allow those who were interested in supporting once we got closer to do so. Every bit helps!

We are 75% funded. We still need $830/month, or -$20,000 total. If you feel led, we've attached a link to the giving page or you can mail gifts to TMS Global PO BOX 936559 Atlanta, GA 31193-6559. We ask that you make checks payable to "TMS-Global" and add our missionary ID # 3100" or our names in the memo.

First of all, we want thank you to all of you who have followed us to this point. It has been such a roller coaster, and with COVID circumstances, it really threw a wrench into our plans. Our training requirements have changed- even in the last month. In short, the last training we have to attend is tenatively planned for June-July 2021.
