More answers to your questions!

In trying to come up with a pithy little title, I searched out the definitions for question and answer. Words like discussion, inquiry, interrogate, & investigate were parts of “question”. Answer was pretty easy, “a reply”.

We pray that you will feel free to ask us questions at any time! If you are wondering it, someone else probably is too! We are trying to be as open of books as we can be to have a discussion with you, answer your inquires and interrogations (that’s not a bad word!) and investigation of us and our work. We welcome it!

NO! We will have the standard cement block house (that’s plastered) with a steel roof. There is no house for us right now. Brian will be heading over sometime in the spring to start the building process. While we will get some building supplies there, we will be looking to send sinks, toilets, steel for the roof, and some electric things over on the container.

Yes, and yes. The bible school has a new well, which is near where our home will be. We will have the best water pressure out of everyone! We will have a generator for electricity and are looking into solar power.

How long will you be there?

Right now we do not have a timeline set in years. We feel we are being called there to do a specific mission, training national pastors in agriculture, and we will be there until God calls the next person after us. Once we have helped get the college established, once Brian has trained in a national (preferably) who will be able to train in others, work the machinery,etc. then we will move on to where God has us next. We have learned in our faith walk that often what God has called us to do is only another step. We are planning for years; we will leave when God leads us out.

Are you working somewhere right now?

Right now we are doing our training part time, running a house of 6 kids and home schooling fulltime, preparing our house to be sold part time, and working part time odd jobs including relief milking or whatever comes our way. I am sure you all know what I am talking about!! We feel God blessed our farm in the last few years so that right now we are able to live on that profit. Brian has sold the last of his cattle and his milking equipment. We are very committed to this work and getting to Zambia. We do plan to sell our vehicles to help purchase a vehicle over there, the sale of our house will pay for building supplies for a house in Zambia, we are buying many supplies and items that we will bring over there, we are buying farm equipment, we will strip down our house as much as we can to send in the sea container. When it is time to leave Zambia, we may be able to sell the vehicle, but the house will be left there. We don’t say that to “toot our own horn”; we simply say it to ensure you that yes we are serious, yes we are committed, and yes we are investing in this ourselves. We are doing our best to not need to take any support until it is absolutely needed. Any support that we don’t use monthly stays in our account to use, once we get to Zambia. 100% of what you give to Gospelink goes directly to us to use where we need it.

I wish we had more room! The next issue will feature questions specific to our budget needs and how we are praying that God will use His people to fulfill them.
